About Moki Pottery

Moki Pottery is owned by Tom Batey and named after his awesome dog Moki.

Tom is a Utah native and an avid outdoor enthusiast. River running and backpacking the beautiful Utah back country are favorites, and evident in his pottery creations.

Tom began doing pottery in high school in 1977 and rediscovered his love of playing in the clay when he returned to college. While in college Tom obtained his degree in Therapeutic Recreation, this is a natural for Tom who wants to share with everyone how to find therapeutic value in the fun and simple beauty around us all. While in college he always found himself throwing pots. He can find no better therapy than playing in the clay and creating.

In the summer of 2000 he also began doing metal work. This began by cutting metal to be combined with pottery faces, and expanded from there. In the fall of 2004 he began teaching pottery at Sugar Post Pottery and has found great enjoyment in sharing his gifts with others.

In an attempt to give back to the community that has given so much to us, Moki Pottery has begun a couple of things. We have been donating to KRCL for several years now, contributing mugs for thank you gifts at their semi-annual radio-thon. In 2003 Moki Pottery began a tradition of giving back to their community by giving a percentage of proceeds from their annual open house to a different charity each day.

Charities to have benefited to date are The Hunnington Miners, KRCL, SPLORE, and BACA. This will continue each year. If you have ideas of a charity please e-mail us at : mokipottery@comcast.net

All of Moki Pottery is high fired microwave, dishwasher safe and oven safe (if heated slowly).

Moki pottery will gladly create custom order pieces.
