The Autumn Table collection
A small run of deep soup bowls, wide dinner plates and lidded jars. The rust glaze breaks to moss green on every rim.

Open Vessel
Wheel-thrown bowls, cups and plates for slow meals. Every piece is made in small kiln batches and glazed by hand.
About the studio
Open Vessel is a two-wheel studio built around one idea: a pot should be open, generous and used every day.
Clay is thrown, trimmed and glazed on site, then fired slowly. Each piece ends up a little different.

Link notes
Short details behind each link above.
Open studio days
A few times each season the studio doors open for browsing, tea and a look at work drying on the boards. Dates are shared in the studio letters.
Back to linksThe seconds shelf
Pieces with a glaze drip, a slight lean or a pinhole. They work just as well at the table and are offered at a gentler price on open studio days.
Back to linksCommissions
Matching sets for a home table or a small kitchen, made over a couple of kiln cycles. Commission windows open a few times a year and are announced in the studio letters.
Back to linksCare guide
Stoneware is dishwasher-friendly, but hand washing keeps the glaze bright for longer. Avoid sudden temperature swings, and let unglazed foot rings dry fully before stacking.
Back to linksWheel classes
Relaxed beginner evenings with only a few people at the wheels. You'll learn centering, opening and pulling a first cylinder, and your best piece gets fired.
Back to linksKiln notes
An honest log from every firing: the loading plan, the cooling pace and the pieces that didn't survive.
