Who We Are

Pickled Heron Studio is nestled in the trees on Cascade Head above the Salmon River Estuary on the Oregon coast, and about 30 feet from the front door of the artist, Sam Jacobson.

What We Do

Our artistic works, both functional works and sculptures, are created using clay slabs, rather than on the wheel. Slab-work is more sculptural in nature, and it lends itself well to experimenting with shapes and forms. While Sam produces both earthenware (low-fire) and stoneware (mid-fire), she prefers the bright colors that low-fire produces, colors meant to lift the spirit and make us smile.

Custom Work

In addition to the functional wares and sculptures on this website, Sam does custom work. If you see something you like, but want a different size or a different color, let us know. You can email Sam at: PickledHeronStudio@gmail.com. Custom work generally takes 4-6 weeks to complete.
