For ceramicists

Settle the form and glaze before the clay is wedged.

9 studios live

A studio for commission work. Scale, glaze and the firing window are agreed up front, and your client sees the piece rendered before anything is thrown.

How it works for ceramicists

Built for the way you already work.

Same studio, in this craft’s words. The brief questions, the examples and the concepts are all written for ceramicists, and nothing else changes.

  1. 01

    Publish your studio

    Pieces, process and one address for commissions. The kiln schedule is yours; the shopfront is yours too.

  2. 02

    The brief respects the kiln

    Dimensions, glaze, quantity and the date the shelves are needed, all in one brief before anything is wedged.

  3. 03

    The vessel comes first

    The answers become a rendered vessel, so proportion and glaze direction are settled before the first cylinder.

  4. 04

    Throw, fire, ship

    The agreed form becomes the making list, and the firing window is planned around a date everyone already knows.
