POTS WITH PURPOSE

our products are meticulously considered,

our forms and glazes made intentionally by hand.

​

how we met

(2013) We both started work the same week at the Rookwood Pottery Company in Cincinnati.  A shared interest in pottery and food was what drove our initial friendship.  The first time we hung out we had a blindfolded throwing competition followed by a meal made from scratch.  We both still work our full-time day jobs together; Breakfront is our ongoing collaboration.
