Sustainability and Slow Craft

The most sustainable object is the one you never have to replace. A well-made stoneware bowl can serve a family for decades and be passed on afterwards. That longevity stands in sharp contrast to the cheap, mass-produced homeware that cracks, chips and ends up in landfill within a year or two.
In the studio we work to reduce waste at every stage. Trimmings and failed pots can be reclaimed — soaked down, re-wedged and thrown again — so very little clay is truly wasted. We make in considered batches rather than vast, speculative runs.
Slow craft is sustainable craft. By making fewer, better things and keeping them in use for longer, handmade pottery offers a gentler way to fill a home.
