Hello and welcome to Lutz pottery.  My name is Ron and I am the owner of    "Lutz Pottery .com" I do this as a hobby to make gifts for my friends and clients. I am not a full time potter; I do this as a hobby. My full time job I am a Realtor with Future Home Realty in Tampa and I market homes for buyers and sellers for a living.  I learned pottery while I was in high school in a little town called Dracut Massachusetts, During High school I spent a few years at the Boston College of Fine Arts. About 4 years ago (2015) I found my old potter and wheel in my barn In Lutz and dug it out, then rebuilt it and the kiln. Went to a ceramics supply distributor and bought a bag of clay. To my surprise I still remembered how to throw a ball of clay on a wheel and make something nice. On the photos page are some of the things that I have made in the past few months. You would think I should have dozens of pieces of pottery in my home but I only have a few. Every time I open the kiln after a firing, I allow my wife first choice. We only got 2 mugs and 2 soup bowls and a large fruit bowl. Then I offer my daughter to see if see wants anything. She tells me they look great but she has dozens of pieces and has enough.  Well the last few weeks I have been loading the shelves with Lutz pottery. This way if I need a gift I will have plenty to choose from. I am going to make some large cookie jars and vases in the next few weeks for inventory.  I have been hand carving the pottery lately so it looks really nice.  Wheel thrown pottery is my passion and it relaxes me at the same time. Bottles, bowls, mugs, vases I like making them all . At Lutz pottery we love the mud.

I love the Lutz area it is close to New Tampa, Land o Lakes and central to all of Tampa.  I make my pottery here in Lutz were I fire them. The clay I use is a  stoneware (high fire) and there is not a lot of places around that you can buy supplies.  I own 2 potters wheels and 2 kilns. I have a building in my backyard where my Lutz pottery is made. After doing real-estate I go home and head out back to unwind and make my Lutz pottery. Still find it hard to believe of all the 100’s of thing I made in the last 3-4 years I only have a few dozen pictures. I keep thinking one day I will sell some. But first I have to stack the shelves with a lot of good looking pieces.  I make these big wide mugs I call soup mugs as they are great for a cup of soup or a bowl of Ice cream. They seem to be a big hit as I get a request for them often. My favorite is a nice tall mug that holds about 16+ ounces and is wide enough for me to dunk my Oreo's in. Still a kid at heart and old habits are hard to break.  I have always enjoyed making pottery and I call it Lutz pottery.  I am making it in Lutz it is pottery so Lutz pottery seemed like the name of choice. Every thing I make is original and one of a kind, unique and I like it that way. I find throwing on a wheel is so easy. One day when I retire from Real-estate I would like to move back to New England were our family is and open a small pottery studio at the house and bring in a little extra mad money. So we will become Sun Birds (opposite of a snow bird). Still want to keep a place here in Lutz we can come down too during the cold months up north. Were I can make my Lutz pottery That way we get the best of both worlds to enjoy our golden years.  Have a great Day.  Ron Zzzzz.
