Hjalmarson Pottery

Hjalmarson Pottery is a renowned clay art studio in Phoenix, AZ, known for its aesthetic and innovative creations. Led by Halldor Hjalmarson, a skilled potter and native of the Sonoran Desert, the studio specializes in depicting the imagery, action, and feeling of the surrounding environment through micro landscapes and sculpted plants and animals. With a passion for surface embellishment, Halldor has developed unique techniques, such as sprigging, to impart imagery and feeling to the clay surface, resulting in a repertoire of several hundred models of familiar plants, animals, and geology.

As founding members of ArtLink and FirstFridays, Hjalmarson Pottery opens its central Phoenix studio on the First Friday of each month for visitors to experience their exceptional craftsmanship. With a focus on utilizing elements of imagery, composition, texture, and pattern to create movement and feeling, Halldor's work has been featured in numerous publications and he has shared his techniques with other clay artists at national and local conferences.
