If you are a café owner, a gallery buyer, or a shop curator working with local makers, the fastest way to judge a piece is to hold it. We keep a rotating shelf of seconds, glaze test tiles, and half-finished brass fittings at the Woodstock workshop. Bring your measurements, your shelf depth, or just a rough idea of how many covers you serve on a Saturday morning.
Most of our work leaves the Woodstock workshop as a commission: a café reordering a second run of plates, a gallery restocking brass pendants, a shop asking for the same dye bath twice. These are notes from the people who handle the pieces every day.
"We ordered 24 dinner plates and 18 bowls for the Observatory café. Two years of daily washing later, the matte bone glaze has held up and the unglazed rims still feel right in the hand."
"The brushed brass pendants arrived with millimetre measurements and a wiring sheet. That level of documentation is rare from a small studio, and it made installation in our shop straightforward."
"We asked for acacia-bark dye for a textile show. The colour cards they keep from each batch meant the second order matched the first almost exactly, which is not something natural pigment usually gives you."
