Welcome to
PELKA CERAMICS

Handmade ceramic art with an emphasis on form, design and color can best describe Pelka Ceramics, a husband and wife team.  I, Joseph, am the sole designer and creator of the ceramic art while Kathleen manages the business.  I have been designing and creating ceramic art for twenty years.  I studied ceramics at Orange Coast College in California and then went on to work as a production ceramicist for three years while continuing to study clay as a studio potter.  Kathleen received a Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara in Communication Studies and managed the Dean's Office of the School of Communications at California State University, Fullerton for four years.  In 2003, we relocated from California to Fort Wayne, IN and have continued to dedicate ourselves to Pelka Ceramics full-time.
