Welcome to StonyBrook Pottery
Stony Brook is a small studio operated by Nancy Rendinaro. Nancy produces beautiful hand-crafted plates, mugs, vases, platters and other housewares.
Nancy makes functional as well as collectible or decorative pieces. Handmade stars make a great holiday gift, while mugs are a practical gift for college students or colleagues. We have collected some feedback here to give our gift suggestions.
Nancy does not maintain an inventory of pottery , but rather
creates every set based on a fresh inspiration or friendly request.
Within each handmade batch she may carefully match the size and glazes
to create a uniform set, or lightly play with the attributes to make
distinctive pieces.
You will never get a generic piece off-the-shelf piece from Stony Brook. Every piece is freshly thrown, glazed and fired only after an order has been placed, and all done within Stony Brook Studio. Nancy says this constant change keeps her inner artist challenged and interested. She admits she simply would not enjoy turning out bland and uniform pieces all day.
