About
Cynthia Spencer
Work in Clay is beautiful pottery for the home and garden created by Cynthia Spencer. I’m a potter living in Corvallis, Oregon with two dogs and supportive husband.
All work is handbuilt from slabs or pinch-coiled into shape and high-fired for durability and use.
Since 1987 I’ve been showing and selling work at trade shows, art fairs, wholesale markets, galleries and the occasional studio sale. Many pieces have been donated for causes near and dear to my heart. If I don’t have to ship it I may donate to yours.
This website is for marketing my work. Many of the pieces you see here are available for sale at my Etsy shop.
Hello – I saw your work at Showcase and am very interested in purchasing pieces for my shop. My shop is Trillium – a fine crafts gallery with a nature theme located in Wheeler Oregon (20 minutes south of Cannon Beach). Your leaf shaped bowls and plates are wonderful – love the frond curl on the large bowls.
I don’t have a website but there are photos of my shop at wheeleroregon.com.
Thank you and hope to hear from you,

Hello, I saw an outdoor multicolored ceramic sculpture you created for one of your Portland customers in a Sunset “Small Yards, Big Ideas” magazine and was wondering if you had other yard art one could purchase and if it was possible to purchase over the internet. I loved the sculpture and would be very interested in purchasing one similar to this one. Thanks so much for your help. I hope to hear from you soon. Kind Regards, Jackie Webster
Jackie,
I do have other sculpture available and do custom orders, too, and am happy to ship, tho it can be spendy.

Hello Cynthia,
My name is Diana, and I’m the founding editor of District (www.districtlit.com). We publish fiction, poetry, and visual art. I saw your work initially in CALYX. I am really impressed with your portfolio and think your pottery would be a beautiful feature in an upcoming issue of District. If you are interested in being featured on our site, please email our art director, Jenny Mary Brown, with a couple of samples (jenny@districtlit.com). Thank you for your time!
Sincerely,
Diana Smith Bolton

Thanks for the nice comments. I’ll send a couple images of current work to Jenny and see what she thinks. And now to take a peek at your publication.

Hi Cynthia, I love the look of the page as you first come into your site. That image just speaks volumes…very dramatic with a hint of lightness. The color scheme works for this image. – Maureen
