Blanket Creek Pottery

Blanket Creek Pottery is run by Paul Borian and Yael Neeman-Borian, a married couple who work together from their pottery studio in the countryside of Kentucky.

Paul learned the craft during a two-year apprenticeship, and in 2001 established his own business from the ground up, one wheel-thrown pot at a time. It remained a one-person studio until he met his wife, Yael, in 2014.
Yael, formerly a wedding photographer in Israel who also studied ceramics and business management, married Paul and became his business partner shortly after they started working together.
She left her country and started a new life by his side.

Paul was mainly wholesaling the pottery from the start, with the plan to sell retail online eventually.
However, the challenge of filling orders for galleries and gift shops throughout the country kept him very busy and left little time to become a retailer of his work. 

This changed when Yael joined the business. She shifted her focus to product photography to take pictures of the pottery
