\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jenny & Sam Dowd met as students at Kansas State University in the ceramics studio. They traded phone numbers written in pieces of clay.\u00a0 They both have always been drawn to working with their hands, and each had experiences with clay as children, which stuck with them.\u00a0 As they moved around the country they always set up some sort of studio, but Alpine, Wyoming is the first place the Dowd\u2019s studio in their home feels permanent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dowd House Studios is known for their utilitarian pottery.\u00a0 They like to make pottery that can be used every day but also for special occasions.\u00a0 Sam carves or brushes animals onto his pieces which can be very whimsical and, of course, one of a kind. From the fish of the region to dinosaurs, birds and deep-sea fish, they strive to create a piece of art in each of their pots, hoping that the customer will enjoy the experience as much as the Dowds did making the pieces.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Dowds welcome custom orders and commission of projects.\u00a0 They enjoy projects that can be personalized for their customers.\u00a0 Jenny and Sam work with a few Jackson hotels. They created water pitchers for the Wort Hotel and the Four Seasons in Teton Village, as examples.<\/p>\n

You can find Dowd House Studio pieces in Jackson at the Wort Mercantile; in Alpine at the Mountain View Natural Market and the Raven Lunatic\u2019s Art Gallery.\u00a0 You can also visit their studio and the best way to contact them is by email.\u00a0 Prices start at $12.\u00a0 Other places to find the Dowd\u2019s work is on a recently created Etsy site<\/a> and on Facebook<\/a>; links for both are on their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
