Welcome to my website. I'm Kenneth Westfall. I am a studio potter and I operate Pine Hill Pottery located in Harrisville, West Virginia, U.S.A. Pine Hill Pottery's main products are cone 10 (2350 degrees F) reduction fired stoneware and I offer a large selection of functional kitchen ware. I have been a studio potter since 1984 and have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from West Virginia University. All of my pieces are handmade, either on the wheel or hand-built from slabs or extrusions. Each piece is signed and no two pieces are identical. I use only lead-free glazes on functional pieces and all are food-safe.
