For those who have asked about sold-out items, unlike many pottery shops on Etsy, we currently only list items that are already made and ready to ship. So while there's no 3-6 week wait for your pottery to arrive, it also means that what is in our online shop is all we have. We also make a lot of one-offs as we experiment with different forms which means that we don't restock everything. Many pieces are truly one of a kind while others will be restocked once a new batch is made, though they will naturally vary a bit from batch to batch.
...

To learn more about how we make the pots, drop by our socials or tag us with a photo of how you're using a piece you've bought. We'd love to hear from you!

Two Potters in an Airstream

Shop members

  • James

    Maker, Owner

    Maker of pots, equal member in the business, and husband of Jo.

  • Jo

    Maker, Owner

    Maker of fewer pots but maker of more pendants and sundry.

  • the USS Whitmore

    Shipper

    The USS Whitmore is our full time home / escape pod. Without its help we probably wouldn't be in a position to make pots right now.

  • Studio Trailer

    Assistant

    Studio Trailer retired from a previous life hauling around a jr drag racer to join our team. With a little remodel, ST became a truly essential part of our business because it's hard making pots outside in 9 degree weather.

Frequently asked questions

Care instructions

All of our dinnerware (mugs, bowls, etc.) is completely food safe and non-toxic. That means it's lead-free so we won't end up like those unfortunate Medieval European nobles with their lead-pewter goblets that we all learned about in history class.

As for care, they are also 100% dishwasher and microwave safe.

Please be aware, though, that they are breakable so we wouldn't recommend tossing them from the kitchen to the diners. They are also subject to thermal shock. So avoid filling them with something piping hot and directly putting them into the fridge.

Stoneware can take a lot of heat or cold and insulate remarkably well. It will easily hold even your hottest coffee but avoid putting it on open flame.

Packaging

We try to reuse and recycle where possible.

No surprise, but pottery can be fragile so we also have to use quite a bit of cushioning to ensure that each item gets to you safely.

To avoid needless waste, we put packaging that was used but is still perfectly good (boxes, bubblewrap, etc.) back into the mail cycle.

Don't be surprised if your order comes in a pre-used box. The inside will be tidy and well packed so that the really important stuff, namely your order, arrives safely with the least amount of waste.

Are your items really handmade - by you?

Yep, my husband and I make every piece in our shop with our own hands. Most of them are wheel thrown but some items, such as pendants, are slab rolled and hand built.

The only exception is the chain and wire on the necklaces (though the wire is hand wound) as we are potters rather than metal smiths. Maybe someday but for now we purchase those.

On that, unless otherwise noted, all the metal we use is 100% solid (usually copper or brass), nickel-free, and lead-free as opposed to plated so that you get the real deal that will age well and last a lifetime.

How long does it take for an item to ship once it's ordered?

Not long. We're a really small business so once we get that Etsy notification that an order has been placed - we pause to high five - and then we're off and running!

Unless otherwise noted (example: if we're out of town for a holiday), your order will ship within 1 business day and if you order early enough in the day, it will often ship the same day.

Once we hand it off to the postman, it depends on what type of shipping method was chosen. But generally, packages arrive in 1-3 business days via Priority Mail.
