About
Lonesome Pine Pottery offers finely crafted functional stoneware collections from master ceramic artist Karen Collins.
In 2001, Karen, a lifelong artist in multiple media, began her journey as a ceramicist, apprenticing under the renowned North Carolina potter Kenneth Neilsen.
In 2007 she manifested the dream of owning her own pottery business, beginning with a studio hand built from pine logs.
Since then, Lonesome Pine Pottery has evolved into a full-time career and an outlet for Karen to involve friends, family, and community in the rewarding work that she enjoys. She has tutored local students for their senior projects shadowing trade professionals, taken on her own apprentices, and organized experiential workshops for Wilderness Way Camp School.
Karen is passionate about the transformative power of art to enrich our daily lives, and pours heart and soul into every piece she makes. When you hold one, you truly feel the energy that elevates it from an object to an experience.
