Selkie

In old coastal folklore, the selkie sheds her seal skin to walk on land as a human, caught between two worlds. The theme of freedom and wildness in contrast to the domestic, ordered human made environment, is something that resonates with me. I often feel this tension as rootlessness, being disconnected from the organic world. This is the source of the longing that is present in my artworks.
Maple and walnut wood, birchbark, glass, aluminum. 37 x 8 x 2 in

Every piece is wheel-thrown from stoneware and glazed by hand in our studio. This one wears our signature finish, so slight variation in tone and texture is part of it, never a flaw. No two are exactly alike.
Care and the handmade promise
Dishwasher and microwave safe. For pieces you love, a gentle hand wash keeps the glaze looking its best over the years. Avoid sudden temperature changes, like moving straight from freezer to oven.
Yes. Every glaze we use is food safe and lead free, fired to a durable stoneware finish that is safe for daily eating and drinking.
Because each piece is thrown and glazed by hand, small differences in size, tone, and surface are natural. The variation is the signature of something made by a person, not a machine.
Each order is wrapped by hand and packed to travel safely. Made-to-order pieces ship within two to three weeks. You will get tracking as soon as it leaves the studio.
If something arrives damaged, send us a photo within seven days and we will make it right with a replacement or refund. Unused pieces can be returned within 30 days.
