Our Story
A studio of one, and a wheel that never quite stops turning.
portrait — Liana in the studio, hands on the wheel
Hi, I'm Liana.

I started throwing pots in a friend's garage studio, mostly because I liked the quiet of it — the wheel spinning, everything else falling away for an hour. Nine years later that garage is a proper studio out back of my house, but the reason hasn't changed.

Everything you'll find here is made by me, alone, in batches small enough that I can trim, glaze, and check every single piece by hand before it ships. That means some months you'll see six new bowls. Other months, none at all — the kiln has its own schedule.

I don't smooth out the wobble in a rim or the place where a glaze runs a little heavy. That's the hand part. If you want machine-perfect, this isn't that — and I'd rather you knew that going in.

Materials
Stoneware clay, glazes I mix by hand.
I work almost exclusively in a speckled stoneware body fired to cone 6 for durability — food-safe and dishwasher-safe once glazed. Glazes are mixed in small batches from raw materials, which is why color can vary slightly firing to firing. I keep detailed notes so I can (mostly) repeat a favorite.
