Judy Prichard

Most of Judy’s work is produced with a self-formulated terra cotta stoneware clay, both functional and decorative works. We create all of our own glazes. Most are fired to cone 5, electric.

Artist Statement

I create each piece for the recipient. As I produce a piece, I strive to know the person who will receive it. I hope they will know when they hold the piece they choose to buy or receive as a gift, it was made just for them.

Oak Grove Pottery

Judy and Tom Prichard opened Oak Grove Pottery Studio and Gallery in 2005, after moving to Nashville in 2003. They spent their first two years in Brown County building their studio and then their home, with their own hands.

Most of Judy’s work is produced as terra cotta functional pottery for use in your home. She also enjoys creating one-off decorative pieces and sawdust fired pots. She has a great love of reproducing baskets in clay, basket designs in functional pieces, leaf motifs and large sawdust fired urns.

In 1996, after their two children left home, Judy began making pots. This was a major change in lifestyle after several years as a management consultant for small business and not-for profits. Judy spent three years studying ceramics in Sydney, Australia, in addition to her previous schooling in the United States at Indiana/Purdue University Ft. Wayne. She exhibited in several ceramics exhibitions in the Sydney area as well as having photos of her work published in an Australia wide ceramics magazine.

Oak Grove Studio with gallery is located on 26 acres of beautiful Brown County woodlands.

Oak Grove Pottery, located at 942 Oak Grove Road, Nashville, Indiana, is open Wednesday through Saturday 10 – 5. Other times by chance or appointment. If we’re home, we’re open!
