Iris Grundler Pottery

Located in Gaithersburg, MD, Iris Grundler Pottery is the creative brainchild of Iris Grundler, who embarked on her artistic journey after obtaining a BSAT degree in Architecture from the Catholic University of America in 1984. Despite a successful start in the architectural realm, Iris felt a pull towards her artistic inclinations, leading her to delve into painting as a form of self-expression. This pursuit eventually evolved into a passion for pottery, with Iris immersing herself in classes within her local community centers starting in 2005.

With a rich cultural background as the daughter of Peruvian parents, Iris's artistic flair is a vibrant tapestry woven from her Spanish and Incan heritage mingled with contemporary American influences. Her distinctive style reflects this fusion, resulting in a unique and internationally inspired collection. At Iris Grundler Pottery, each piece is meticulously crafted using a variety of clays, including porcelain, black clay, brown speckle, and white stoneware, with each clay boasting its own distinct properties, adding depth and character to her creations.
