William Aley has been playing with clay

for over 30 years.  It began as a hobby

while he was active-duty Navy stationed

at Moffett Field, CA.

While at CalPoly - SLO, working on his

Bachelors of Science Degree,

he took a minor in Fine Arts.

Now that he has retired from the

Federal Government, he has time to sit in

the Pottery Studio and think of pieces he’d

like to make.  From the whimsical creatures

in his mind, to his goal of creating the perfect teapot.  He never knows what will be the

finished product once the ball of clay

starts on the wheel.

One of a kind Pottery and Stoneware

Ceramics created by William Aley.

The pieces are glazed and high-fired in

a natural gas kiln up to cone 10/11 (2380 F) .  Utilizing North Carolina sourced Wild Clays; ranging from finished textures of fine porcelain

to highly textural stoneware.  The pieces are

wheel thrown, hand and slab built.

If it can be made out of clay and fired,

William will try and create it

in his own unique way.

All of the pottery pieces and glazes are

lead-free and food, dishwasher, and

microwave/oven safe.

The Pottery is for sale online and by appointment only at the TKP Pottery Studio

in Washington, NC.

We hope you’ll find something that you’d

like to add to your collection.
