01 — The studio
A mug should feel right before the coffee goes in. We pay attention to the lip, the handle, the weight—and leave a little room for the kiln to surprise us.
We work in short runs rather than endless stock. A form may come back with a new glaze, a wider foot, or no handle at all. If a batch does not feel right, it does not leave the studio.
- 6–24
- pieces in a typical small run
- 2
- firings before a glazed piece is finished
- 100%
- finished and checked by hand
02 — The collection
Useful things,
with a little character.
Glazes break differently over an edge. Handles vary. That is part of the work, not a flaw we try to hide.

03 — Workshops
Clay on your hands.
Aprons are on us.
Try the wheel once, spend an afternoon building by hand, or book the studio for two. No previous experience is needed.
-
01
For a first try
First steps at the wheel
Three hours to center, open, and pull up the walls of a small bowl or cup. Expect a few collapses. That is how the gesture starts to make sense.
-
02
For slower making
Hand-building afternoon
Pinch, coil, and slab. We work without the wheel and follow the form wherever it reasonably goes—a bowl, a planter, or something less easy to name.
-
03
For two people
A table for two
A private hand-building session for friends, partners, or parent and child. Make a plate and a bowl each, then choose from the studio glazes.
Clay, tools, aprons, glazes, and firing are included. We arrange dates by email and confirm your place in writing.
04 — The making
Not finished when
it leaves the wheel.
Clay needs time to dry. Then come two firings, a glaze, and the slightly nervous moment when we open the kiln.
- 01 / 04
Prepare
We weigh and wedge the clay to remove pockets of air before making begins.
- 02 / 04
Shape
Forms are thrown on the wheel or built by hand, then trimmed once the clay firms up.
- 03 / 04
Dry & fire
Slow drying comes first. The initial firing hardens the clay and prepares it for glaze.
- 04 / 04
Glaze & fire
We dip, pour, or brush the glaze, wipe the foot clean, and fire the piece again.
05 — Made to order
A set that fits your table.
Need twelve bowls that stack properly? A vase for a particular corner? Tell us the size, quantity, and how the piece will be used. We will tell you what is possible—and what is not.
- Home tablewareSmall sets, replacements, and gifts with a practical brief.
- Restaurants & cafésShort runs for teams that care how a plate feels in service.
- One-off vesselsMade to a size, a stem, or a space you already have in mind.
06 — New York
Come and pick them up.
