Collection: KC Urban Potters - Featured Artists

Kansas City Urban Potters is a collective of professional studio artists making functional pottery with a high standard of craftsmanship. Located in the heart of an already-strong clay community, the collective looks to expand visibility of contemporary studio pottery to local and regional audiences through invitational exhibitions, public lectures, and community-based events. Through joining forces and partnering with other local organizations, makers can accomplish far more than what would be individually possible.

Kansas City Urban Potters includes Bekah Bliss, Chandra DeBuse, Paul Donnelly, Jana Evans, Meredith Host & Alex Watson. The organization was started in 2014 as a way to promote handmade functional pottery through local and regional programming including the “Midwest Pottery Fest” & through our local shop. We closed our physical brick and mortar location at the end of 2022, but continue to serve our mission through programing in popup venues across the greater Kansas City region.
