Doug Jones  -  Ceramic Artist

I have been handcrafting coastal themed stoneware pottery for over 40 years. in our studio on Amelia Island, wheel thrown, hand built and sculpted vases, bowls and platters come out of the fire as sea turtles, fish and manatees in a variety of beautiful glazes that will enhance any decor.

My work is available in a variety of locations including Fernandina Beach / Amelia Island, Fort Lauderdale (Los Olas area), Saint Augustine, Savannah, Saint Simon's Island, Hilton Head Island, Mount Pleasant, Hampton and Maui Hawaii.

A few years ago, I changed the name of our studio from Jones Pottery to Amelia Island Pottery in order to better reflect our location and the style of my work. After working with me for a few years after my wife's passing, my son Chris, a talented potter in his own right, continues to carry on the family tradition with the Jones Pottery name. He also is involved in a new venture teaching wheel throwing at Amelia Pottery Works, a teaching studio on the island.

As an island potter, I transform clay into things of beauty that are found on and around the coastal area we call home for your use and enjoyment. I don't make a huge selection of pottery, but I strive to make what I do best and do it well.  I spend more time on an individual piece than other potters because I want you to have the best quality available. It is very flattering to see my work being imitated by other potters, as this just affirms my belief that I must be making something worthwhile....

Living in Fernandina Beach, the highlight of my morning is sitting on the back porch with my wife Pat, enjoying the serenity of Amelia Island, listening to the surf in the distance while sipping fresh ground Costa Rican, GoldenBean, Peaberry coffee from a mug that was made over 30 years ago by my friend and mentor, master potter Lee Shank.

I want you to be able to experience that same feeling of satisfaction with one of my handcrafted ceramic items. Many of my pieces are destined to become heirlooms and with minimal care they will give lasting pleasure and enjoyment for generations.

Please browse  this site where you can learn about my process, mark the dates that I will be doing a show near you, find locations to see and purchase my pottery or even select a piece to mail order from the 'Photo Gallery'.

  My goal is for you to enjoy my work as much as I do in making it. . . .
