About Drippy Pots

When Drippy Pots founder Brian Giniewski saw his middle school art teacher throw a pot for the first time, the act felt like magic. He was transfixed — and he started to create. For a kid that self-identified as being “a bit on the outside,” the ceramics studio was a safe space where he felt nurtured and supported. Fast forward to college - on a campus tour, he strayed from the group — and found the pottery study. The college professor who’d one day become his mentor and a close friend happened to be teaching a summer class. She helped him sign up for the foundational classes he’d need to pursue a ceramics major. By the time he graduated he was making both functional and sculptural pieces with a healthy dose of exploration. Glaze viscosity, color, form — none of it was off the table. He loved the utilitarian integrity of functional pottery, but all he was seeing were earth tones. That wasn’t him, and it certainly wasn’t his aesthetic. He started to play: Consistent forms, with bold, juicy, thick glazes. On a lark, he uploaded a Drippy Pot to his Tumblr account (yes, Tumblr!) and forgot about it. When he came back to the image, he saw that it had been shared thousands of times. People started reaching out, asking if they could purchase Drippy Pots for their galleries and shops, and with that, his perspective started to shift. Three years later, Drippy Pots became a full-time endeavor.
