Description

Kristen and Joe Camp, owners and founders of Campfire Pottery, have been crafting one-of-a-kind contemporary ceramic pieces that are symbols of human-gathering for five years in Westbrook, Maine. They also have a storefront built out of a shipping container located off of Washington Avenue in Portland. The Campfire pair came to Maine from their home state of Georgia to help build a church and they decided to stay in Maine long-term as they loved the environment, culture, and wanted to start a business around the passion that started their relationship, pottery. Their craft is very unique as they use a Japanese style ceramic process called Raku on a portion of their collection. Joe suits up in a firefighter like uniform as temperatures, when undergoing this process, get extremely hot! Kristen’s newest project is working with an interior designer on a light fixture and will be launching an interior designer program later this year.Please visit Campfire Pottery’s website to view their products. Feel free to follow them on Facebook and Instagram to get updates on new products and promotions. Also, please consider giving back to this lovely business as well as the frontline workers who are risking their own health for those suffering from COVID-19 by supporting their Stay at Home Mug Project. For every 5 “To-Stay” Mugs they sell, they will donate one of their signature To-Go Mugs to a healthcare worker on the frontlines.Also, please check out the featured musician of this episode, The Jacob James and their full track Live It Up and the rest of their awesome jams on iTunes.
