A Fusion of Art & Science
Handmade, Start to Finish
Every piece begins as an idea, usually sparked by interactions with people and places. From there it's a balancing act between form and function, art and engineering — what makes a pie dish bake evenly, a mug feel right in the hand, a serving bowl beautiful on the table for years.
It starts with the recipe. Top-quality ingredients matter: fine grades of locally sourced dry clays, silicas, and fluxes — combined to our own house blends, mixed with water to the proper consistency, then run through a pugmill for double mixing, de-airing, and aging before they're ready to throw.
Forming
Hand-pressing, ram-pressing, hand-slabbing, slumping, throwing, casting. Potter's wheels, slab rollers, extruders, presses, stamps, molds, and custom tools — many built in-house. Each form is customized to the piece. No molds where there shouldn't be, no slipcasting, no overseas production.
Glazing
All glazes are house-formulated and commercially engineered for durability and aesthetics. Two decades of glaze chemistry gives us a full range of colors and finishes — glossy and matte — applied by hand-dipping, brushing, sponging, and spraying. Lead-free and non-toxic.
Firing
Every piece is fired twice at roughly 2,300°F to ensure complete vitrification — food-safe, dishwasher-safe, built to last. The kilns load in the evening; the doors open each morning to reveal the newly finished wares.
Made In-House
By 2008, off-the-shelf glaze and clay supplies couldn't keep up with what we were making. Adam and Jeremy started mixing their own — drawing on engineering and geology backgrounds to dial in the durability, color, and surface we wanted.
It's a slower way to work. It's also the only way to make pottery that's truly ours.
