about The Artists
Off Menu Pots is a collaborative ceramics business created by Clara Hodges and Leigh Cronin. Clara works with the clay to hand-build or throw each pot and Leigh decorates them by hand using painting and etching techniques. We work together to make one-of-a-kind pieces that bring beauty to your everyday life.
Our work ranges from clean minimalist designs to ornate pots covered in intricate patterns and illustrations.
Off Menu Pots has a unique, recognizable style but can adapt to create custom pieces for businesses or individuals. Our pots can include business logos, sentimental scenes and words or have a modern sleek finish to suit your needs. We make pieces that we hope will be cherished for a lifetime.
