Mellifera Pottery

Carol Mann - Mellifera Pottery – Bee Inspired
Beautiful wheel-thrown pottery inspired by a love of honey bees and nature.

Beekeeping allowed me the most intimate view into the activities of these amazing creatures, and workings of each hive. A buzz of activity, bees are always working together in chorus and unison for mutual benefit of hive prosperity and nature with sweet results.
For me, the bees have been a wonderful and rewarding example of living an uncomplicated and simple life in harmony with those around you. Being both a potter and bee keeper has created the perfect combination to express my passion. When designing and crafting my bee-inspired works, I hope to share the joy and wonder they’ve gifted me.
An important cause to foster, a portion of each of my sales are donated to The Honey Bee Conservancy– http://thehoneybeeconservancy.org/. The importance of these creatures cannot be said enough and I am proud to contribute to the cause of saving them
