"We believe everyday ware should be beautiful and practical. We intend for you to enjoy each piece as you use it ... touch it ... look at it. Here in our studio on the downtown waterfront in scenic Port Townsend, Washington, we draw inspiration from the many natural elements that are part of our daily lives to design and craft pottery cookware, serving ware, tableware, and sculptures. We throw and sculpt everything here in our studio, using no molds. Our small crew takes the time to imbue each piece with artistic intention, making each piece truly unique.

Please enjoy your visit to our virtual studio, and contact us with any questions or special order requests. And if you are in Port Townsend, stop by to see us! We also show and sell our wares at regional summer markets and fairs."
