Meet Karen Ahaus

Master Potter in Grapevine, Texas

Ahaus Pottery Logo

In 1996, I began a Master’s degree in Art Education. I took my first Ceramics class and touched clay for the first time since first grade. It was love at first touch! Ceramics and pottery making was a hobby until 2011 when I moved to Grapevine, Texas and began to sell my work. Ahaus (Ay-house) Pottery was born. I began selling my work at local art shows, shops, and markets. I opened my Etsy shop and never looked back. My pottery is deeply inspired by nature and my faith. The colors of the glazes are mostly tints of blues and greens, the colors of earth and sky. 

 

I know that I am literally living my childhood dream of being an artist.  A few years ago, I painted a mural of flowers above my kilns and called it “Living the Dream”.  It has been a long process but I am so thankful for every step and everyone who has been along my artistic journey.  If you would like to be on the journey with me, subscribe here.

Ahaus Pottery has been shipped to all 50 states and other countries.

Being a full time artist is hard work. The pay off is when someone says, “I can’t start my day unless I use one of your mugs” or “I leave your nativity out all year, it is so beautiful.”​​​​​​​​​​​​
