Studio is a family owned and operated pottery. We are currently focused on high fire crystalline glazes.
This type of glaze is extremely difficult to produce, and very few potters work with this technique. The
results are a combination of specific glaze formulation, application, and firing techniques. Despite meticulous
attention to detail, the results are often unpredictable. The crystals that grow on our pottery are like snowflakes in
that no two are exactly alike. The attempt to control at high temperatures, about 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, what so
easily occurs in nature is a wonderful challenge with vast possibilities.
All of our pieces are hand thrown or slab formed and one of a kind. The works are
made from porcelain or white stoneware and are microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe. The crystals are permanent and will
not fade or change over time. However, due the microporosity and texture of the crystalline glaze, food should not be
stored in the wares.
Please see our gallery for just a few examples of our current work. These pieces
are for your viewing pleasure only and may not be available for sale.
Please contact us with any questions, comments, or special requests.
Thank you - Adam, Richard, Teri, and Miele MacMillan.
