Welcome to Cactus Ranch Designs! My name is Mitzi Shepherd, and I specialize in creating beautiful, custom made pottery in my home studio in Billings, Montana. My passion is to share the beauty of ceramic art on many unique items, ranging from horse hair pottery to unique custom glazed brand mugs to casserole dishes to vases.

The dramatic black lines on horsehair pottery are created when mane or tail hair is burned into clay at over 1000 degrees. The lines remain forever, like the memories you hold in your heart. Sharon Widmer is an artist and a horsewoman from Iowa, USA that would be honored to customize a beautiful piece of pottery with your very special horse’s hair.

Each piece is individually thrown on the wheel or constructed from a slab. I use hand mixed glazes that are food safe and can handle a ride in the dishwasher or microwave for convenience. I prefer my pots to be able to be in hands, on tables, or sitting dirty in the sink rather than tucked up in a cupboard or on display having people afraid to use them. The love of the mid-western lifestyle I was blessed to be raised in, and the love of my home state, Montana, carry strongly in my work. Community, friends and family are dear to me and often a piece is inspired or spurred on by them. The Lord has wired each one of us differently. I find great joy in being a maker. From throwing to individually pulling a handle the lovely adventure of clay holds me captive. I desire that my pieces might be ambassadors of that joy, bringing bits of happiness into others daily lives and routines.
