Myra Bowie
My’s Pots / Founder, Terrace CLAY Studio (Myra Bowie Ceramics)
My’s Pots began its journey in the cozy basement of my home in New Jersey, following many years of immersive classes and valuable memberships at various pottery studios across the United States. Today, it proudly resides in the vibrant city of Charleston, South Carolina, specifically in the heart of the charming Riverland Terrace neighborhood at Terrace CLAY Studio. In my artistic practice, I primarily work with porcelain and dark stoneware, allowing my creative preferences to shine through. My pieces often reflect a harmonious blend of rich blues and greens, complemented by subtle hints of shell colors inspired by the beautiful Carolina beaches where I cherish spending my time.
