About
Chaeli Hanna-Kohn, a lifelong resident of Sioux City, Iowa, has been working with Stoneware and Raku pottery for over 25 years. Shady Grove Pottery is located in the family’s home just northeast of Sioux City. Chaeli may hold special events and sales during the year.
Specializing in functional stoneware, as well as decorative Raku pottery, Chaeli uses the potter’s wheel, extruder and slabs of clay with hand-building techniques. The elements of nature, such as leaves and bark, are often incorporated into the textures of designing the clay pieces. Various colors of glaze, slips and underglaze are integrated throughout the creation of her pieces, concluding with the firing process.
