Piece 01
Ochre serving bowl
Thrown in three sizes on the wheel, glazed in an iron-rich ochre that pools darker where the wall thickens. Every bowl fires slightly differently, which is the point.

Small-batch ceramics & table linen
Autumn collection — nineteen pieces, made once.
Everything here was made in a converted dairy outside Hudson, in batches small enough that one person can remember making each piece. When a run sells out it does not come back the same.
Piece 02
Burgundy carafe
A one-litre carafe with a thumb rest pressed into the neck. Designed to be poured with one hand at a crowded table without anybody thinking about it.

Piece 03
Bone linen runner
Woven on a narrow loom in Portugal from flax we have used since the first year, then washed four times so it lies flat straight out of the packet.

Piece 04
Smoke tumbler, set of four
Short tumblers with a slightly heavy base, glazed in a grey that goes green in daylight. They stack, which is rarer than it sounds.

How a piece gets here
Thrown
Two days a week on the wheel, in runs of thirty. Anything that wobbles goes back in the bin.
Dried
Ten days under cloth. Rushing this is how pieces crack in the kiln, so it is never rushed.
Glazed
Dipped by hand, twice. The glaze is mixed in the studio from four oxides and nothing else.
Fired
Sixteen hours to 1260°C, then two days to cool. The kiln is opened on Thursday mornings.
Visit the studio
The shelf of seconds is open to anyone who turns up on a Saturday. Slight warps, glaze runs, and the occasional thumbprint — half price, no reservations.
