Stoneware studio, open Thursday to Sunday
We throw, trim and glaze every piece in one small room. Come make a bowl with us, or take one home from the current batch.

Batch 07, glazed this autumn
Studio story
Clay Atelier began in a rented garage with a second-hand wheel and a lot of cracked mugs. Ten years on we still work in the same spirit: small batches, honest glazes, and nothing made to a deadline the clay did not agree to.
Every piece carries a thumb mark where it was lifted from the wheel. We think that is the signature that matters.
Air is pressed out of the clay so it throws evenly and fires safely.
Shaped on the wheel, then left to firm up to leather hard.
Feet are trimmed, then each piece is dipped or brushed by hand.
Two firings, the second to about 1,260 degrees, cooled over a full day.
Visit
