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 a one-person run studio and mainly sells her work at Art SUX Gallery, 515 4th Street and online shop.
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.
Chaeli's work is available at Art SUX Gallery 515 4th Street Sioux City, Iowa during Hardline Coffee hours. Chaeli’s work is also sold at Sioux City Gifts, 1922 Pierce Street. Watch her website shop for updates.
Shady Grove Pottery is located in the family’s home just northeast of Sioux City, and is open for business by appointment. Chaeli may hold special events and sales several times during the year.
