Studio Journal

Recent Notes from the Workshop

A running record of what is happening at the wheel, in the glaze lab, and around the kiln. Each entry marks a small moment in the life of the studio.

Kiln Opening March 18, 2025

First Firing of the Sage Collection

Unloaded the kiln this morning. The matte sage glaze settled exactly as we hoped on the breakfast bowls. A few pieces show subtle iron speckling near the foot — those will go to the seconds shelf rather than the main release.

Process Note March 12, 2025

Testing a New Terra-Speckle Glaze

Mixed a small batch with extra iron oxide and applied it to three test vases. The surface breaks nicely over the ribbed texture, but the speckle is heavier than intended. Adjusting the soak time for the next round.

Studio Update March 5, 2025

Limited Run: Sculptural Vases Now Available

Twelve hand-thrown vases with a raw clay foot and cream matte interior are ready. Each piece is numbered and signed. The full set sold through in two days; a waiting list is open for the next batch.

Behind the Scenes February 27, 2025

Wheel-Throwing Demo at the Open Studio Day

Hosted a small group of collectors and curious neighbors. We walked through centering, pulling walls, and trimming a foot ring. Several attendees tried their hand at the wheel — a few bowls survived the experience.

Care Guide February 20, 2025

Why We Recommend Hand-Washing Textured Glazes

The matte surface is durable, but dishwasher detergents can gradually dull the texture. A quick rinse with warm water and a soft sponge keeps the finish intact. Full care notes are included with every order.
