Handmade, Functional Pottery with a Steampunk Flair
​Steampunk:
Steam-powered machinery based in the 19th-century Victorian era
Hi, and welcome to my shop, Gears of Clay.
My name is Erin Marie Coppinger, owner and maker. I got married in 2018 to my husband Bradley who is the marketer of our business and helps turn my dreams into reality.
I started back in 2012 at the Community College of Rhode Island where my passion grew into a lifestyle. I am working to turn my passion for ceramics into a full time career, by selling my pottery to wonderful people like you!
I enjoy making pieces that serve a functional purpose: bowls, plates, and jewelry holders to name a few. But the thing I love to make most is mugs! You'll notice I have more of those than anything else. Making steampunk styled pottery is my main passion in ceramics. I love to bring the steampunk world alive with my work and I can't wait to show you more of what I can do! Thank you for your support in my dreams.

Here are some of the items available for purchase in my Etsy shop!
​
My process: I make all my pottery with stoneware clay. Each piece is hand thrown on the potter's wheel, additional pieces are hand-built. Then it is bisqued, hand glazed, and finally high-fired in a gas kiln at 2388 F.
​
All these pieces are: dishwasher and microwave safe, made with food safe glazes, and have more than one available​.
