Made to become part of your day

We buy stoneware clay and glaze materials from specialist ceramics suppliers in the Netherlands. We ask about firing ranges and intended use before choosing a material. Our pieces are shaped, dried, glazed and fired here in the studio.We return clean, unfired clay scraps to the worktable where the clay body allows it. Fired clay cannot go back into that mix. We try new colours on small test pieces before using them on a batch.

A slightly uneven rim, a visible throwing line or a glaze that thins at the edge can be part of a finished piece. We look for a steady foot, a comfortable rim and a surface suited to its purpose.We take inspiration from Japanese ideas of simplicity and the beauty of use. Our ceramics are made in Deventer. We tell you whether a piece is tableware or a decorative object, and explain its care before you take it home.

Our lessons give you time to learn a movement and try it again. Start with a wheel taster, practise over six weeks or build a small shape by hand. We demonstrate, help when the clay gets away from you and leave room for your own choices.Drying and firing happen after the making. We contact you when your finished work is ready to collect from the shop.
