Pottery for Good

Pottery with a purpose: 100% of the profits from my pottery sales go to support my work with unloved and overlooked cats in my community.

Hi! I’m Hannah Listle. My pottery designs are inspired primarily by the natural world—animals, plants, fungi, and the wonders made visible by macro photography—especially the landscapes and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest, where I spent much of my life. I’ve also been inspired by the unique beauty of Northwest Florida since moving here, which continues to shape my work in new and exciting ways.

I’m drawn to the idea of creating pieces that feel meaningful in everyday life—functional art that people reach for again and again, whether it’s a morning coffee mug or a shared table at a gathering. In a world full of mass-produced and disposable objects, I value the intimacy of something made entirely by hand, with care, intention, and attention to detail. My goal is to create work that feels grounding and personal—pieces that bring beauty into daily routines and hold a sense of connection, purpose, and lasting value.

I make my pottery in my small home studio, often with a few curious studio cats nearby (or supervising). The only part of the process I don’t do at home is firing the kiln. I have a dear friend and mentor who has been a potter for over 20 years, and she generously handles the firing process for me.

All pottery sales directly support my cat rescue work and the care of cats in my small sanctuary. While it is not a formal nonprofit, every purchase helps provide food, medical care, supplies, and support for homeless and vulnerable cats in my community

Get to Know the Potter

  • Yes! Unless otherwise noted, all the pottery I sell is food safe. I will make a very clear note in the description of items that are NOT food safe. If you ever have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

  • Yes! It is completely safe to put my food-safe pottery through the dishwasher. I will clearly mark if an item is not food safe.

  • Yes! It is completely safe to use my food-safe pottery in the microwave. I will clearly mark if an item is not food safe.

  • Yes-ish. Although all pieces have withstood temperatures well above 2000 degrees F, I still recommend looking for pieces that I specifically mark as oven safe. I have made these particular pieces a bit thicker than my serving ware or dinnerware.

  • Yes and no.

    I can’t make an exact copy of a sold piece. Every item I create is one-of-a-kind, and even when using the same forms, glazes, or design ideas, each piece will naturally turn out with its own unique variations. That’s part of what makes handmade work special.

    However, I’m absolutely happy to create something in a similar style or using a similar glaze combination if it’s a direction you love. As long as you’re open to the natural differences that come with handmade work, I can certainly make something inspired by the original piece just for you.

    I’m so glad you connect with my work—it means a lot!

  • You are welcome to make a custom request. If I feel it is within my skill set and aligns with work that inspires me, I would be happy to provide you with a quote for the project. Please note that I am not able to accommodate rush orders.

  • Turnaround time can vary depending on what I’m making and how many pieces are in the order. I also work in creative cycles, which means I balance custom orders with my own production schedule and time spent developing new glaze combinations or revisiting popular designs.

    Because of this, I prefer to give a realistic completion window rather than overpromising on timing. I would rather under-promise and deliver early than set expectations that I can’t reliably meet.

    For most custom orders, my typical turnaround time is 4–8 weeks. Larger or more complex orders may take longer, and I will always take that into account when providing your estimated completion date.

    Pricing is always clearly quoted upfront and will not change once confirmed. The only variable that may fluctuate slightly is shipping, but I do my best to provide accurate USPS estimates so there are no surprises.

  • All sales are final. As a small business creating one-of-a-kind handmade pieces, I am unable to offer returns or exchanges. I truly appreciate your understanding and support of handmade work.

  • All sales are final. However, I carefully package every order and ship with USPS insurance covering the value of the items. In the rare event that a package is lost or damaged in transit, a USPS claim can be filed to reimburse the value of your order.

  • All sales are final, whether purchased online, at a market or event, or in person from my studio space. As a small business creating one-of-a-kind handmade pieces, I’m unable to offer cancellations, returns, or exchanges once a purchase is completed.

    I truly appreciate your understanding and support of handmade work. If you have any questions before purchasing, I’m always happy to help and provide additional information so you feel confident in your choice.

  • Yes, I ship within the United States. Shipping rates are based off of USPS Ground and Priority - whichever is the most reasonable price. Both shipping options offer a tracking number and include insurance equalling or exceeding the value of the items in your order. Local pickup and delivery may be coordinated on a case-by-case basis.
