T&TTerra & Tumble

I left the marketplace to make my own shop.

For six years I was an in-house designer. Now I throw pots in a garage two blocks from the water, fire two kilns a week, and sell them from a site that's finally mine.

At the wheel — every piece in the shop starts here.

Why I left

The marketplace took twenty percent and made my shop look like everyone else's. Same template, same grid, same voice. I wanted my own domain, my own layout, and — most of all — my own customer list. So I built this instead of renting a storefront.

How I work

Everything is made to order in small runs. I throw on Mondays and Tuesdays, trim midweek, glaze on Thursdays, and fire two kilns before the weekend. That rhythm is why a piece takes two to four weeks — you're not buying from a shelf, you're getting something made after you ask for it.

About the speckle

The speckle comes from iron in a local-blend clay, and it pulls differently every firing. I photograph each piece myself on a length of linen so what you see is close, but expect variation. That's the whole point of a thing made by a hand and a kiln instead of a machine.

A piece moves at kiln speed.

The process
Throw & trimEvery form starts on the wheel Monday or Tuesday, trimmed to a smooth foot midweek.
GlazeDipped and brushed Thursday in one of six matte glazes I mix in the studio.
FireTwo kiln loads a week, cone 6. The kiln decides the last ten percent of how a glaze looks.
Pack & sendWrapped by hand and shipped from Providence, usually two to four weeks after you order.
