Objects That Carry Meaning: Handmade Pottery & Urns in Portland

Objects That Carry Meaning: Handmade Pottery & Urns in Portland

A well-made pot changes the way you move through your day. The weight of a cup, the way a bowl frames a meal—these small, tactile things matter. In my Chris Baskin Pottery studio in Portland, Oregon, I make functional ceramics and artisanal urns that connect people to daily rituals, memory, and craft. My work ranges from utilitarian pottery—plates, bowls, and vessels for everyday use—to one-of-a-kind ceramic urns, shaped by history and tradition.

I ship across the U.S. and offer small group and one-on-one pottery classes in my SE Portland studio. Whether you're looking for a handmade piece to use, gift, or memorialize a loved one, I hope you find something here that speaks to you. If you’d like to visit the studio, commission a piece, or inquire about a class, call me at (503) 475-9087
