A few of the bigger pots I’ve been working on lately.
The size of my kiln sets the outer limit—but I’m having a lot of fun recreating some of my signature shapes on a larger scale.
Each form has its own personality, and together they feel like quite a gathering.
Handmade in Key West at Shade Ceramics.

Bold black surfaces, warm geometric lines, and small touches of color—the Memphis Blues pattern brings a quiet rhythm to the table.
Each plate is handmade in our Key West studio, with subtle variations that make every piece its own. Designed for everyday meals, long conversations, and tables that feel collected rather than matched.
Available at Shade Ceramics and Shutter Photography in Key West. Shipping nationwide.

Eight weeks after surgery, I’m not finished healing, but I’m back where I belong.
Wheel-thrown pottery by Shade Ceramics in Key West, Florida.

Some pieces ask to be picked up.

Handmade in small batches in our Key West gallery and studio.
