Based in St Paul MN, Portray Clay Co. fuses the skills of potter Ryan Ball and portrait artist Alana Hawley to create completely unique, functional artwork. Alana paints every portrait and illustration directly onto Ryan's greenware in underglazes, resulting in gorgeous images fired directly onto the clay body and then protected with a layer of clear glaze. This means that all of our work is both microwave and dishwasher safe, so you can make these artworks a part of your everyday life. Portray Clay Co. is constantly putting out beautiful, lively work, and we particularly love custom orders! If you have a special occasion coming up, or just want to show someone special how much they mean to you, our bread and butter is the ceramic portrait. Mugs, plates, urns, teapots-- whatever form speaks to you, what better way to celebrate a loved one than with a portrait?
