I'm Jess Lederman, the owner/creator behind 1991 Pottery.
I've always had a love of handmade stoneware mugs (and have quite the collection to show for it!) but didn't delve into making my own until 2021. It wasn't until 2023 though that I was able to find a consistent studio to work out of, and then eventually save up enough to buy my own wheel. My 3 year old has dubbed her "Grace" and she's a real beaut!

I create a lot of things anime and tv/movie characters but, like I do with most things in my life, I allow myself to go with the flow and make whatever I'm feeling in the moment. For me, creating has always felt necessary, but often I felt socially obligated to stick to one thing. That just isn't me, and over the years I've learned to love that about myself. You might find one shop update I have anime inspired pieces, drippy mugs, or even mug rugs (as I also have a love of tufting rugs!). It's a bit chaotic but it'll be fun, I promise. 


And as always, thank you for being here and allowing me to continue pursuing my creative dreams.. I'm forever grateful that I get to share my art with you all.
