About Rock Pond Pottery
I’m Neil Fallon, and my relationship with clay began in high school—an early spark that quietly shaped the course of my life. After college, I started gathering the tools of the trade and pursued pottery as a passionate hobby, learning through community art centers, workshops, and self-study.
My work is deeply rooted in the legacy of mid-century American studio potters, whose forms helped elevate ceramics from functional craft to recognized fine art. Inspired by the Bauhaus movement and the teachings of Marguerite Wildenhain, I initially focused on precision and form—striving to create the “perfect pot.” Over time, my approach softened, and I embraced the term once popular in the post-industrial age: I am a vessel maker.
For many years, clay was a part-time pursuit, balanced against the demands of family and a corporate career. But a move to New Hampshire over two decades ago offered a shift toward a more intentional life. I built a 432-square-foot studio, discovered new mentors, and fell in love with Shino glazes—whose unpredictable beauty led me to invest in a downdraft gas kiln to explore their endless variations.
In 2021, I retired from corporate life and returned to clay with renewed focus. Today, I create wood-fired, gas-fired, and electric-fired art and utilitarian ware at Lowell Makes in Lowell, MA, and in my working studio in Windham, NH.
