Kiln & ClayAustin Studio
East Austin Working Studio

Stoneware with the maker's marks still in it.

Functional ceramics hand-thrown in small batches. No assembly lines. No factory repetition. Just raw clay, unique glazes, and the rhythm of the wheel.

Hand-thrown, never slip-cast.

01

Visible Throwing Marks

Each piece retains the spiral of the potter's fingers on the wheel — a signature of the moment it was formed.

02

Reduction Glazes

Our glazes pool and break over rims, creating depth and character that uniform factory spray-ons can't touch.

03

Small Batch Energy

We fire in small kiln loads on the East Side, ensuring every mug, plate, and bowl is handled with individual care.

"I want to feel the maker in the clay."
