on purpose.

We crush our own off-cuts, fold the chips back into wet clay and let the kiln decide the rest. No two pieces carry the same constellation.

How a Loam piece happens

Three weeks, two firings, one stubborn kiln called Marguerite.

  1. Crush

    Every cracked bowl and trimmed foot is dried, hammered and sieved into chips: clay red, sage, oat and bone.

  2. Fold

    Chips are wedged into a cream stoneware body by hand, then thrown or slab-built while the mix is still arguing.

  3. Reveal

    After the bisque we grind the surface back with wet stone until the chips open like cut fruit, then glaze clear.

The autumn shelf

Six vessels, small batch.

Dishwasher-patient, oven-brave, and heavier than they look. Basket: 0 pieces.

“A chip is just a pot that got a second chance to be looked at.”Ines Calloway-Reyd, founder & chief sweeper
