Lindsay Rogers is known for treadle wheel-thrown iron-rich stoneware traditional functional pottery. Signature forms include utilitarian tableware and presentation vessels.

Inspirations for surface treatments include weathered tools and metal seen in the agricultural landscape. These are translated into surface techniques including the application of a semi-translucent white glaze over the brown stoneware to get a weathered look. Rogers applies a contrasting black glaze in organic graphic shapes to the dinner plates, mugs, bowls, and other dinnerware.

Rogers also makes work which is motivated by food movements such as ‘farm to table’ (c.2018).  Rogers hopes utilitarian wares will encourage a re-connection with each other and with the food we eat.
