Bowls
Small-batch · Thrown by hand
Quiet objects for everyday rituals.
Each piece is wheel-thrown, glazed, and fired in our riverside studio. No two exactly alike, all made to be used.

In the studio
Made slowly, by two pairs of hands
We throw every piece on the wheel, trim it the next day, and glaze it by hand before a long firing. The little marks left behind are the point, not a flaw.
Our glazes are mixed in-house from local minerals, so the colours shift with the season and the kiln.
- Wheel-thrown, never moulded
- Food-safe, lead-free glazes
- Fired in small batches
On the wheel
Thrown, trimmed, and glazed by hand
Every piece is thrown one day and trimmed the next, then dipped by hand in glaze we mix ourselves. The little marks are the maker saying hello.
In the kiln
A slow fire sets the colour
A long stoneware firing pulls the glaze into its final tone, so the batch shifts gently with the season and the kiln.

How a pot happens
Five weeks from wet clay to your table, and most of that is spent waiting.
01
Throw
Stoneware from a quarry in Devon, thrown wet, one at a time, on a kick wheel.
02
Dry slow
Two weeks under plastic. Rush this and it cracks, so we do not rush it.
03
Bisque
A first firing to 1,000 degrees, which is where about a tenth of them fail.
04
Glaze and fire
Dipped by hand, then a long firing to 1,280 with a slow cool for the colour.
Mixed in-house
Glazes blended from local mineral oxides.
Stoneware fired
A slow high firing that makes it last.
Food-safe
Lead-free, dishwasher-friendly glazes.

Before you ask
Questions
Are the pieces dishwasher safe?
Yes, though hand-washing keeps the glaze its best.
Why does my piece look slightly different?
Each is thrown and glazed by hand, so no two match exactly.
Do you take custom orders?
For sets of six or more, with a few weeks’ notice.
Do you run classes?
Weekly beginner wheel classes, spots open each season.
