Mudcat Pottery is a one-person pottery studio founded in 1994 by Darlene Yarnetsky.
Darlene earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in ceramics, painting and drawing from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. In 1994, following a studio internship, she founded Mudcat Pottery in Madison, Indiana. She participated in juried fine art festivals across the Midwest, then opened her own studio/gallery in 2002. In 2008, she became one of Indiana’s first juried Indiana Artisans.
In 2010, Darlene and her husband relocated to southeast Pennsylvania, and this summer Darlene is reopening Mudcat Pottery in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, near Doylestown.
“Using nature as a springboard for ideas, I create one-of-a-kind sculptural vessels and wheel thrown pottery,” Darlene says. “I am greatly interested in texture and the natural properties of clay. I use a combination of original earthy and bright glazes in gently overlapping patterns to accentuate the forms.”
