Craftsmanship
Made entirely by hand
Studio practice
We work slowly. In a world of mass production and fast fashion, we've chosen a different path. Our studio practice is built on the principle that quality takes time, and that the process is as important as the product.
Each piece passes through our hands multiple times. From initial forming to final finishing, every object receives individual attention at each stage of creation. This hands-on approach ensures quality and allows for refinement throughout the process.
From raw material to finished object, nothing is rushed. We allow materials to dry properly, glazes to cure, and metals to develop their natural patinas. This patience results in objects that are not only beautiful but built to last.
Our New York studio is a space dedicated to craft. Here, traditional techniques meet contemporary design, and every tool is chosen for its ability to help us create objects of lasting value and beauty.
Forming
Clay shaped on the wheel or built by hand.
Metal forged and hammered into form.
Every curve is intentional.
Refining
Surfaces smoothed or textured.
Details emerge through repetition.
Each pass reveals the object.
Finishing
Glazes mixed in-house.
Metals oxidized naturally.
Wood finished with plant-based oils.
Transformation
Ceramics fired at high temperature.
Metal work hardened and set.
Time completes the process.
No two pieces are identical
We embrace variation. In handmade work, slight differences are inevitable and desirable. These variations are what make each piece unique and valuable. When you purchase from our studio, you're receiving something that cannot be exactly replicated.
Each object carries the mark of its making. Tool marks, subtle texture variations, and natural material characteristics all contribute to the character of the finished piece. These are not flaws—they're evidence of the human touch and the handmade process.
Subtle differences are part of the work. We don't strive for machine-like uniformity. Instead, we celebrate the natural variations that occur when materials are worked by hand. This approach results in objects with personality and soul.
This is not mass production. We create in small batches, often making pieces to order. This allows us to maintain quality, work closely with materials, and ensure that each object meets our standards before it leaves the studio.
This is craft. It's the intersection of skill, material, and intention. It's the commitment to creating objects that are both beautiful and functional, that honor traditional techniques while serving contemporary needs, and that will be valued for generations to come.
