_About the work_

## Made slowly, by hand.

I work in small batches, throwing each piece on the wheel and glazing it by hand. No two are ever quite the same. I love the quiet marks that come from a thing being made by a person, not a machine. Every piece is food, microwave, and dishwasher safe, and made to be used every day.

- **Can I buy for my shop?** - Yes. I take a limited number of wholesale orders each season. Join the studio list or get in touch.

- **Why are some pieces sold out?** - Everything is made in small batches. New work drops every few weeks, so join the list to catch it.
