Pickled Aliens Pottery brings you love from a world of creatures made in clay. I am so excited to bring new creatures to the family this year along with new clay and glazes. Find Handmade Arcade Virtual Marketplace exclusive mongrels on Etsy! More info about me below.
ABOUT ME
Welcome to the cauldron of Pickled Aliens Pottery! My name is Jaison Pascuzzi and I have been
making pottery with creature faces since 2008. I am currently in my 14th year teaching art in a local
school district. I fell in love with the simple notion of using my hands to form a raw material into a
functional vessel.
My customers come from all walks of life, and I believe the mongrels have such a wide appeal
because they embody silliness. I love hearing from past customers about how my pieces are received
as gifts, or stories that continue the personification of these little creatures.
ABOUT MY MONGRELS
My mongrels, monsters, creatures, and goobers are full of character—each one tells a story. My work
is based in wheel throwing and pinch pot techniques with the faces and other features sculpted on.
Each monster mug, jug, or spoon rest is uniquely handmade and named. You can find the tangled
lineage of my creature spoon rests at pickledaliens.com. I enjoy working with multiple clay bodies
for surface color and texture variation. My pottery is fired in electric and wood kilns to cone 5/6.
