About the artist: Up in Smoke Pottery is located in basement and garage of Chad & Kiesha's home in Sioux Falls, SD. They started selling their pottery in late 2008 when they ran out of room in the historic 4 square. Kiesha grew up in the ceramic/pottery world with her parents owning a pottery supply shop and a clay manufacturer. She does hand building and creates most of the saggars. They participate in a few festivals and shows each year winning several awards along the way. They also have a few select galleries in which they distribute their work.
