New: oat glaze bowls from the Hillcrest kilnSee them

Things for the home, made by hand and meant to last

Stoneware, washed linen, palm baskets and woven shades from makers within a few hours of Durban. Small runs, so when a glaze sells out it may not come back.

Four things we sell, each from a different pair of hands.

Just out of the kiln and off the loom

The newest pieces in the studio. Most are made in runs of twenty or fewer.

A few ways people use them

None of it is precious. Use the bowls every day and put the linen through the wash.

A bed you want to get into

Washed linen goes soft after the first night and softer every wash after that.

Dinner for six

Our plates and bowls are made to stack, so you can buy a set and add to it later.

Somewhere for the clutter

Palm baskets hold blankets, toys and the post that lands on the hall table.

Made by people we visit

We drive out to every workshop we buy from. Three makers supply almost everything in the studio.
