madhouse ceramics
handmade pottery from my madhouse to yours
the method behind the madness
Hello, I’m Madelyn, and welcome to the madhouse!
Everything you see is made by my own two hands in my garage at my house in Red Bank, TN. I make simple, elegant pieces of functional pottery that sometimes have curse words or boobies on them :)
I like to make pottery that lives at the intersection of “aesthetically beautiful” and “kick-ass.” Though much of my pottery is minimalist functional ware, I will occasionally use my pottery as a way to externalize my voice and values, such as a uterus on a mug resembling reproductive rights or Red Bank Ditch Dweller mugs showing pride in where I live. Ya know, fringe shit like that.

This is exceptionally made and I can’t wait to use it every morning!! It was packaged extremely well and arrived in two days! Thank you thank you!!!!!”
