vitrifiedstudio is a small ceramics studio located in portland oregon.
we make 2 collections of pottery urn, the vitrifiedstudio collection and the modern pottery urn collection.
the first collection of urns we have been making since 2012 and selling in the vitrifiedstudio etsy shop. this line is hand thrown by shelley on the pottery wheel, stamped and glazed by the team. the second collection of urns launched in October 2022, and it is slip cast from molds we created directly from our handmade forms, hand stamped, with ceramic fired on decals added for the text, and glazed. the second line is designed so we will be able to reach a wider audience via our own website, modernpotteryurn.com
the wares are all limited production, high quality studio ceramics, all fully customized and made to order. currently the focus of the studio is making custom urns, but we have previously also made dinnerware and various tableware. shelley martin started the studio in 2011, and the studio has grown over the years to include more team members. we have made over 20,000 custom urns and we are honored to serve our customers by creating meaningful unique urns.
these photos are from 2011 when shelley started the business in northeast portland oregon. we have moved our studio 3 times since this photo was taken, and now we are located in the south portland /johns landing neighborhood.
