Potter in the studio

A studio by the river

We shape each piece by hand in a small studio rooted in the river valley—slow gestures, durable forms, and glazes that age gently with use.

How a piece comes to life

Hand-thrown on the wheel

Each piece begins as a ball of locally sourced stoneware clay, centered and shaped entirely by hand.

Trimmed and glazed by hand

Once leather-hard, we trim the foot and apply glazes tested for durability and beauty.

Salt-fired and inspected

Fired to high temperature for strength, then inspected to ensure each piece is ready for daily use.
