Molly Harper. Ceramic Artist.
Growing up in rural New Hampshire has imbued in me a love of the environment and the beauty of all New Hampshire's wild spaces.
I aim to capture the feel of white birch and bring a touch of New Hampshire’s forests into your home with handmade stoneware lamps, vases, and other functional ware. Pieces are thrown on the potter’s wheel and meticulously textured and hand-painted.
In 2023, I took a step back from my work as a production potter following a back injury. This unexpected shift led to a wonderful opportunity to advance my career in a new direction as a full-time Administrative Coordinator for the League of NH Craftsmen Home Offices in Concord, NH.
Although I'm not currently working in my own studio, I am excited about this opportunity to support other craftsmen across New England!

My Studio.
In Fall 2020, I renovated and moved my studio to Springfield, NH. The quiet location is my sanctuary and a peaceful source of inspiration. I frequent the many hiking trails around the region and continue to draw inspiration from New Hampshire's stunning wild spaces.
My studio is not open to the public and does not contain a retail space. But I have many images and video tours on my social media pages!
My ceramics studio consists of two buildings: a 12x14' renovated workshop and an 8x10' galvanized steel kiln shed which houses my two electric kilns.
