Big Table Studios

Big Table Studios, located in Herman, NE, is a renowned pottery studio dedicated to creating high-quality functional and sculptural wood-fired ceramics. Led by artists John Martelle and Liz Vercruysse, their work showcases a contemporary approach to traditional design and is heavily influenced by the natural world.

At Big Table Studios, the centerpiece is the Lynn Kiln, a 250 cubic foot anagama-style wood-burning kiln. Each firing, which takes two weeks to complete, involves the meticulous process of loading, firing, and cooling. By using locally sourced materials and firing without glaze, their pieces acquire a unique and one-of-a-kind coloration, ranging from subtle to dramatic, making the unloading of the kiln an exhilarating experience.
