Wheel-thrown in small batches — Stroud, since 2016
Made to be used, not admired.
Every piece is thrown by one pair of hands, glazed, and fired twice. No two are identical, and the small variations are the point.

Recent from the kiln
What survived the last firing.
One wheel, two kilns
Small enough that a person answers the email.
We can't make much, and we don't try to. A studio this size competes on the one thing a factory can't sell — work that carries the mark of the hand that made it.
Shop by glaze
The colour is the whole decision.
How it comes to be
Clay, then fire, then fire again.
Thrown
Centred and pulled on the wheel by hand — no moulds. The form is set in the few minutes the clay stays soft.
Trimmed & dried
The foot is turned by eye, then days of slow, even drying so nothing warps or cracks before the heat.
Bisque fired
A first firing to ~1000°C hardens the clay and makes it drink glaze like a sponge.
Glazed & fired
Glaze goes on as chalk, then a second firing to 1280°C melts it to glass and vitrifies the body for good.
