Bug Pottery

Bug Pottery

My name is Ellie Kotsianas-Christner and I’m a Knoxville, TN native. Since studying Advertising and Fine Arts at East Tennessee State University I have found my passion in making ceramics. Whether I’m sculpting a play-doh cheeseburger for my tea party or hand building a mallard duck replica with objects found in my backyard, I have been creating and making things with my hands for as long as I can remember. My favorite place is the home! So when creating my work, my inspiration comes from the home and the simple, taken for granted, little item we use everyday. I want you to fall in love with the little things by making them handmade with love.

Being of a petite stature, my parents started calling me “Ladybug” when I was very young. Over the years it was shortened to “Bug” so deciding on the name of my company was obvious. To commemorate this I place a ladybug on almost all my pieces. This forms a signature for my work without signing them, and for me it’s my way of putting my heart and history into every piece while carrying out the love I have for my family and ceramics.
