Craftsmanship & technique

We’re choosing to stay true to our roots and still create fine pottery with generational methods by hand. This is something mass production can’t replace.

Producing clay tableware, A to Z.

Let us take you on a journey through our pottery. We do everything in-house, by hand. It all starts with the clay that is obtained in a nearby clay-pit. We then prepare the clay by adding water and mixing it. Once our clay is the perfect consistency, it’s ready for shaping. Our artists use the potter's wheel and the process called jiggering to give our products their distinctive design and clean lines. Then it’s time to dry each piece before firing them in a kiln. Our kiln runs on electricity, meaning it takes significantly less time to heat up. When all the pieces are fired at 1000°. Some might say the most tedious step is polishing each piece to achieve our signature texture. We find it therapeutic. All there’s left to do is glaze the inside and seal the final result.

Locally sourced clay

We source our Latvian red clay from the nearby Lode clay-pit just 10km/6miles away to minimize transportation related CO2 emissions. Ethical and local clay sourcing also supports the economy, creates stronger bonds with our community and land, and deepens cultural and environmental ties in our functional and beautiful pottery.
