Handmade on the Salish Sea

Small batches of wheel-thrown stoneware, made by hand - glazes drawn from the colours of the coast around me. New pieces drop a few times a season.

The next drop

The Sea Glass series

A small run of mugs and cups, glazed the soft green of the shallows over speckled sandy clay - about a dozen pieces. Once they're gone, they're gone until the next.

The lookbook

Grouped by the glaze.

Each series starts with something I saw on the coast - a colour in the water, the light on wet sand - and here's what came of it.

The journal

What I saw, what I made.

Little notes from the studio and the beach - where a colour came from, what went wrong, what came out of the kiln.

The green that took three tries

I wanted the exact colour of the shallows out front. The first two batches came out grey. The third one finally broke the right way.

This week

A shelf of finished coastal stoneware drying in the studio

Twelve cups, one morning

Off the wheel and onto the shelf before the coffee went cold. Some days the clay just cooperates and you don't argue with it.

Last week

A little dish of seashells beside the pottery wheel

Why I glaze by the shell

I keep a little dish of shells by the wheel. When I'm stuck on a colour, I hold one up to the light and start there.

The maker

Hi - I'm the one at the wheel.

I started throwing pots to slow down, and never really stopped.

Everything here is made by hand in a small studio on the coast - thrown, trimmed, glazed and fired by me, a few pieces at a time. No two come out exactly alike, and I've made my peace with that; it's the best part. I make in small batches because that's honestly all I can, and I'd rather each piece be right than fast.

If you'd like something specific, I take a handful of commissions between drops - just reach out.

Join the studio

Come along for the next drop.

New pieces land a few times a season and the small batches go quickly. Join the list and I'll email you the morning they're up.

You're in - talk soon. 🐚
