About the Studio
Celtic Pottery Studio was born in 2002 at Janet Gaddy's kitchen table in Danville, Virginia. Since that time she and her star pupil and life partner, Timothy Winspear Moran have developed a flourishing award winning pottery business. Celtic Pottery also has an additional studio site at "Ladyslipper" on Lake Gaston in North Carolina.
Janet and Timothy produce a variety of pottery styles influenced by their celtic heritage and personal reflections. Timothy specializes in wheel thrown crystalline on porcelain, while Janet has developed her own unique sculptural work in porcelain as well as folk art in stoneware. Each are truly one-of-a-kind heirloom pieces.

Timothy Winspear Moran 
Timothy Winspear Moran is a graduate of the University of Georgia. Upon graduation he pursued a career in broadcasting, becoming the owner-operator of a small market chain of radio and television stations.
His introduction to pottery came nine years ago as a form of therapy after his life changing triple by-pass surgery and early retirement. For the first two years, pottery was a growing interest and an occasional past time. However, for the past five years it has become a full time passion as he earned a Master Potter Certification in North Carolina.
Influenced by his life-long collection of antique European art glass, Timothy has developed a unique and creative style that reflects his Irish heritage. He has studied under many of the well known Masters, including Cynthia Bringle, Stephen Hill, John Britt, Ben Owen, and Bill Van Gilder, and he patterns many of his works after the British Master Potter Robin Hopper. |
