Meet Amy Harrison
Owner, Muddy Mae Pottery
Harrison hails originally from Lafayette, Louisiana, but moved to Mississippi with her family as a young girl. Long before pottery, she began working with wood and tin, making picture frames and crosses and establishing a solid local business. Over time, she toyed with the idea of pottery. Harrison has developed her own style and signature glazes that set her work apart. She plays with color mixtures to yield earth tones and cool blues that blend much like an artist’s palette. She also uses dry wood blocks to imprint and stamp the clay with patterns and textures. She employs this technique on the outer bands of select bowls and platters.
Mae's Story
“I always say this dog saved my life, not physically but mentally. I had just lost my father, my mentor and best friend. My world was completely upside down. Mae was the reason I had to get out of bed every day. Mae never left my side during the hardest time of my life. That’s why I named my business after her.”

Giving back to animals...
Mae gets to leave her mark on each piece. Every piece has the small imprinted paw print on the back of it. An animal lover, Harrison donates a portion of Muddy Mae Pottery proceeds to local shelters and rescue groups.
