More about Dove Pottery

My name is Jordan Campbell, and I am the potter responsible for the majority of the work that you see throughout our Facebook page. I am accompanied while making pottery by my girlfriend Ravin Laughrun who makes the rest of our pieces. The Business was established by my grandmother, Selma Dove Krones. My grandmother owned her own gallery showcasing her own work, as well as other local artists, but eventually sold off the gallery and decided to stick to just making and selling her own work. After she parted with her gallery she was looking for a place to sell her work, and eventually found the Matthews Farmers Market. Through her use of leafs and other organic themed pieces, my grandmother was accepted to become a vendor at the market in 2001. From 2001 up until 2014 my grandmother, my grandfather, and myself not only sold pottery at the farmers market but also made it all side by side as well. Working in a studio in their backyard, my grandmother and grandfather taught me everything I know when it comes to making all of the pieces that I make today. Although my grandmother passed in February of 2015, her style and techniques continue to live through myself and my girlfriend as we continue to make our work and sell it at the Matthews Farmers Market. Every piece of pottery that Ravin and I create is a direct result of what my grandmother and grandfather have taught us.
