Hearth & Clay

Made one at a time. Sold the same way.

Wheel-thrown stoneware from a two-person studio in Vermont. Every piece here is the only one of its kind — when it’s gone, it’s gone.

A note from the studio

We throw everything on two wheels in a converted dairy barn, and fire about once a month. A firing takes three days from loading to opening the kiln, and something always surprises us.

That’s why nothing here comes in sets of six. If you like a piece, it’s the one in the photo — the same weight, the same drips, the same thumbprint inside the foot.

Ines and Tomas are fictional, like the studio.

From a bag of clay to your shelf in about five weeks.

Throwing

Each piece is thrown on the wheel from a weighed ball of local stoneware, then left to stiffen overnight.

Trimming

The foot is carved the next day. This is where most of a piece’s character is decided.

Glazing

Glazes are mixed in the studio and dipped by hand, so the line where glaze meets raw clay is never quite straight.

Firing

A bisque firing, then a glaze firing to 2,300°F. What comes out is what you see here.
