The Mud Peddler studio is located in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, where artist Denise Kupiszewski creates functional and creative pottery. As a studio potter, not a production potter, her work is in a continual state of evolution. In her one-person studio, each piece, from the time it is formed by hand or on the wheel until it comes out of the kiln after its final firing, receives only her personal care.

 |
| FROGS ON EDGE - Hand sculpted frogs climbing sides or clinging to the edge of functional wares. No two alike, and each has their own personality. |
|
|
 |
| SQUASH POTS - Pottery in the shape of gourds, pumpkins, and more, each as individual as the ones in your garden. |
|
|
 |
| INSPIRED NONSENSE - Colorful furniture with functioning drawers or under-the-cushion storage for use as keepsake holders. |
|
| I love my work, and because of that, each creation is a unique work of art which came to be from a ball of clay, crafted with my hands and heart, and years of study and experience. Creativity and whimsy shows in each of my lines of pottery: "Frogs On the Side", "Squash Pots", "Inspired Nonsense", and "Mud Huts".
Every piece I make reflects a successful combination of artistry, clay, chemistry, and heat.
I invite you to increase the presence of functional art in your life, and experience the simple joy of the daily use of a well made pot whose ingredients were harvested from the earth and individually crafted by a potter who loves her craft. ---Denise Kupiszewski
