Pottery & Workshops
Handmade pieces to take home, and a seat at our studio table if you would rather make your own.
Individual pieces
Mugs and bowls made by hand, one at a time. Glaze runs and pools a little differently on each, so the piece you get is its own.

Small batch
Teal glaze pooled over speckled ivory clay, with a handle shaped by hand.
$32
Tidepool Bowl
A shallow bowl in teal and blue, finished with a warm brown rim.
$44
Sunset Mug

With every piece
Made by hand in our San Diego studio
Glazed and fired in small batches
Packed by hand to protect its handmade detail
Ready-to-ship pieces leave our studio within 3-5 business days.
Collections
Shop all potteryPieces grouped by color and clay, so a table can come together one mug or bowl at a time.
Each piece in a collection is priced on its own, and shown with its price in the shop.

How a workshop goes
From booking a seat to holding your fired piece.
1

Pick wheel throwing or handbuilding, then call or email us to book your seat.
2

3
Make with your hands
We show each step first, then you work at your own pace with help close by.
4
Drying and firing
Your pieces stay with us to dry and go through the kiln. We let you know when they are ready.
Before you come
A few small things make the session easier.
No experience needed. Beginners are welcome at both workshops.
Nothing to bring. Materials and firing are part of the price.
Wear clothes you don't mind getting clay on.
Short nails make working on the wheel easier.
Come a few minutes early so you can settle in before you start.
Questions before you buy or book
Do I need any pottery experience?
No. Both workshops are open to beginners, and we show each step before you try it.
How do I book a workshop?
Call us on (555) 555-0100 or email hello@yourdomain.com and tell us which workshop you would like. We will reply with the next steps.
Can I book a workshop for a group?
Get in touch with how many people you have and which workshop you have in mind. We will tell you what we can arrange.
What will I take home from a workshop?
That depends on what you make and how it comes through the kiln. Ask us when you book and we will tell you what to expect.
How do I care for my pieces?
Care depends on the clay and the glaze of each piece. Ask us about a piece before you order and we will tell you how to look after it.
