Hands shaping wet clay on a spinning pottery wheel, lit by the glow of a kiln

From Our Hands to Your Hearth

A handmade home-goods studio in Savannah: hand-thrown pottery, woven wall hangings, reclaimed wood shelves and candle holders — made slowly, in small batches, in the same room where we teach.

Every piece begins with dirt and fire, and ends up somewhere in Savannah.

Pieces on the line, cooling on the shelf

Four things leave this studio: thrown pots, woven hangings, reclaimed shelves and candle holders. Every one of them is made by hand, in the yard, in small batches.

Hand-thrown stoneware mugs and bowls arranged on a reclaimed wood shelf — Hand-Thrown Pottery

Mugs, bowls and vases pulled on the wheel, glazed and fired in the yard. Each one a little off-round, on purpose.

Reclaimed wood shelves sanded and oiled by hand, mounted on a plaster wall — Reclaimed Wood Shelves

Old barn wood, cut, sanded and oiled by hand — for walls that need a straight line and a bit of old grain.

A woven wall hanging in warm tones hanging on a plaster wall — Woven Wall Hangings

Loom-woven fiber in warm light and deep magenta, made to fill a quiet wall.

Hand-thrown candle holders glazed in warm tones lined up on a studio bench — Candle Holders

Little thrown forms glazed to hold a flame, finished with a raw clay foot.

Through the Fire

Four passes before it reaches you

Clay is only the beginning. Nothing leaves the yard until it has been wedged, thrown, glazed and fired in the kiln out back.

Wedge & Center

Clay arrives rough and full of air. We work it on the bench until it's even, then set it spinning.

Throw & Shape

Hands on the wheel — pulling walls, opening rims, letting the form lean the way it wants to lean.

Fire & Glaze

Glazed by hand and fired in the kiln. The colour you see is something only fire can give.

Finish & Send Home

Sanded, oiled, wrapped. Then it's off to a shelf, a table or a hearth somewhere in Savannah.

In the Yard

Come make a mess with us

Workshops run in the same room the work is made in — clay on the floor, tools on the wall, and the kiln humming in the corner.

People working with clay together at a long table in the studio — Open studio night — the big table, mid-session.

Community

Kiln stories from the yard

The best part of a kiln yard isn't the firing — it's the people who stand around waiting for it to cool.

Kiln Note 01

The Wednesday Night Crowd

Benches fill up, sleeves get rolled and somebody always brings something to share. The wheel hums until late, and nobody's in a hurry to leave.

Dirt, fire, and whoever shows up. That's the whole recipe.

Kiln Note 02

Glaze Day

Buckets open, aprons on, and the whole yard smells like iron and rain. Every surface in reach gets a stripe of magenta.

Kiln Note 03

Seconds Shelf

The pieces that lean or wobble don't get thrown out. They get a shelf of their own and a story to go with it.

Kiln Note 04

Opening the Kiln

The lid comes up, the heat rolls out, and everyone leans in at once. Some pieces are exactly what we planned. The rest are better.
