First Wolf Pottery
POTTERY THAT FEELS LIKE HOME
Welcome—I'm so glad you're here.
What started as a passion for working with clay has grown into a collection of functional and decorative pottery designed with you in mind. Every piece I create is more than just a vessel—it's an expression of form, shape, color, and function, uniquely handcrafted to bring beauty and purpose to your daily life.
I believe that the things we use every day should be both practical and meaningful. Whether it’s a mug that fits just right in your hands, a bowl that elevates your meals, or a vase that quietly brightens a corner of your home, my pottery is made to be lived with, not just looked at.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind, thoughtfully crafted to blend seamlessly into your life—and maybe even become something you can’t imagine living without.
Thank you for supporting handmade artisan crafts. Thank you for being here.
MORE ABOUT ME
My first love has been veterinary medicine for over 20 years. I discovered pottery just before and briefly during vet school. A few years ago while on leave recovering from surgery I reconnected with pottery and have embraced my passion for ceramics to the point of obsession. The challenge of taking a piece of clay and turning it into a beautiful piece of art is truly mesmerizing. There are so many steps to successfully getting that piece of clay through shaping, firing, glazing, firing (and praying the kiln gods shine on you kindly) to turning it into something that will be beautiful, functional and become part of your daily life.
First Wolf came from the last name Blevins. When Blevins’ ancestors came over from Wales the original name had several spelling versions, in Welsh its meanings vary from first wolf and wolf cub/son.
At First Wolf Pottery in Haymarket, Virginia, I create handcrafted pieces that blend artistry with everyday practicality. My work reflects the belief that pottery should not only be visually appealing but also serve a purpose in daily life. Each piece carries the intention of craftsmanship, care, and the joy of creating something meaningful and beautiful.
