Kiln to doorstep

Six weeks, four steps

Nothing is made to stock. Each batch moves through the studio together — from a quarry east of the city to your table.

01 · Week 1

Dig

Iron-rich clay from a quarry two hours east of Portland, blended with a little of last batch’s reclaim.

Broken pieces of dry clay collected in a bowl
02 · Weeks 1–3

Throw

Every piece is weighed, centred and thrown by hand — then trimmed at leather-hard and dried slowly under cloth.

03 · Weeks 4–5

Fire

A bisque firing, hand-poured glazes, then fourteen hours climbing to 1,280°C. Forty pieces, never more.
