Welcome to
Claudia Cassidy Bennett
Claudia Cassidy Bennett creates handmade pottery inspired by the wildflowers of Glacier National Park. Living near this remarkable landscape, she is continually drawn to the quiet beauty of the flowers that grow in alpine meadows and along mountain trails. Their shapes and colors often find their way onto the surfaces of her work.
Claudia makes functional pottery meant to be used and enjoyed every day. She believes the objects we live with - plates, bowls and platters - can be added beauty to ordinary moments and bring a small connection to nature into the home.
Before becoming a potter, Claudia spent more than forty years as an occupational therapist. That experience shaped her appreciation for the role everyday objects play in our lives and continues to influence the work she creates today.
Each piece is handmade in Montana and designed to be both beautiful and useful.
