About Raeann Nilan
Hello! I am a small batch potter and artist residing in beautiful Livingston, Montana. My creative process is all about enjoying what I am doing, learning along the way, and bringing joy to others through one of a kind handcrafted treasures. I wish for you to find beauty in my work and find a piece that feels as if it was made just for you.
Pottery / Clay work is my main focus. The allure of handcrafting in clay is that no two pieces are exactly the same. I enjoy this unique nature. My clay work is created using a pottery wheel or hand building techniques and my body of work changes over the years as I have new ideas and interests. You may find earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain clay as well as different glazing techniques in my collection. This experimentation with different clay, techniques, design, and glaze brings a uniqueness to my clay creations.
Art is like therapy and I create what makes me happy. I am not one to limit my creative nature, so from time to time you may also find paintings, printmaking work, and jewelry made from other materials. You will find these in the "Non-Ceramic Creations" tab at the top of the page.
Enjoy!
