Riley Madsen

👋🏻 Hello and welcome to Backyard Pottery 👋🏻

I’m Riley Madsen — a California-based Ceramic Artist and Educator sharing the pottery lessons I wish I had when I first started back in 2017.

Here you’ll find Clear, Practical Instruction recorded and edited in a Long-Format style to maximize learning opportunities for those who crave skill development. I love making pottery wheel tutorials full of tips and tricks I've learned along the way to help you grow as a ceramicist.

I keep it calm, true-to-life, and encouraging—so you can improve without feeling overwhelmed.

If you’re looking for straightforward instruction, technical breakdowns, and all things ceramics, you found the right channel. I can’t wait to connect and interact with you in the future!

Best regards,
Riley Madsen | Backyard Pottery
