Goose and Swan Pottery - or GASP Studio - is a Home Pottery Studio that myself, Carly (the Swan in this birdbrained pair) and my husband, Paul (the Goose) established in January 2024.
Back in December 2021 - my silly goose of a husband, Paul, survived a very serious stroke-which left him with a language disability called Expressive Aphasia. 8 months into his recovery, he bravely enrolled in a Beginner Pottery Wheel Throwing Class so that he could exercise his mind and keep his body busy while out of work.
What hatched Goose & Swan Pottery was when Paul had a significant seizure a few years after his stroke. We decided to bring the pottery studio into our home. Needless to say, we are absolutely 'winging' it!
We have caught the pottery bug - well rather, we've snagged the scrap of stale bread in the lake of our crazy lives (...leaning into the bird puns here friends!) and this website will serve as our ceramic portfolio as beginner potters. Eventually, this is also where you will find more information on how to purchase some of our hand-thrown pieces! (when they are ready to leave the nest of course).
The Goose - Paul
The Swan - Carly
The Goslings & Cygnets -
Addie, Lennox, Archer & Quill
This place is truly a Ceramic nirvana - just outside of Philadelphia in Norristown, PA
A Pottery & Ceramic Supply Company in Denver, PA (plus, Rodger is the BEST)
NAA's mission is to provide access to research, education, rehabilitation, therapeutic and advocacy services to individuals with aphasia and their caregivers

I want to commission my own Goose and Swan piece of pottery - How can I do that?

But if you don't mind the wait, head up to the Shop, and choose to commission a Mug. If you have a very particular request, please email the Swan swan@gooseandswanpottery.com with the details.
