Family owned, local, and love serving our ceramic and art community. Curious where we came from and how we were started? 

Georgie's was established in 1965 under the name "Irene's Objets d'Art"​ by Seller Jacobson, Georgie's father. Georgie purchased the company in 1975 from her father and renamed it "Georgie's Plaster Shoppe"​. 

Plaster craft eventually faded, and Georgie's entered the field of ceramics in 1980. Hence, the name "Georgie's Ceramic and Clay Co."​ During the early 80's, Georgies'​ 3 kids graduated from the University of Oregon (Go Ducks!!) and rejoined the family business.

Sadly, Georgie passed away in 1985 at the early age of 48, after a decade-long battle with cancer. She died with the hope that her children would continue the company and follow her ideals of providing good service and a fun atmosphere for both employees and customers.
And let me tell you - that's just what they've done. 

Georgie's ideals live on as Dick & Linda (current co-owners) have continued to grow this business. As third generation, these two are a very large part of why we are successful here in Portland. We also have the most amazing employees who put their heart and soul into their job. And lastly (or should we say the most important piece) we have the most outstanding and creative customers. Thank you for supporting our local, family owned business!

We look forward to serving you throughout years to come :)
