Hi there! My name is Kourtenay Plummer and I am the artist behind Kourtenay Plummer Pottery. I was born and raised in Chesterfield, Virginia. I fell in love with pottery at a young age and decided to pursue art during college. I graduated from William and Mary with a BA in art and a MaEd in elementary education. I taught art, to both children and adults, for many years in Williamsburg, VA. Like many people during the current pandemic, life presented many challenges and I was stuck at a crossroads. In late 2020 I decided to leave teaching to pursue art full time. I love education so much that I do not see myself ever fully retiring from teaching.

I am currently based in the Richmond area of Virginia. I teach classes at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond and at Hand/Thrown Ceramics Studio. I create sculptural and functional tableware, and ceramic jewelry. Stay tuned for shop updates.

I am in the process of opening my own pottery studio and art gallery. You can find more information about that here!
