Made in Sonoma County
I recently made a significant investment in my small pottery business by creating a brand-new home studio! My vision was to have a functional space that would allow me to craft and showcase my collection in a kitchen-like environment. Open Shelves and natural wood elements were the heart of the design. After a full year of design and construction, it’s finally finished, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I am eternally grateful to my husband, parents, and friends for their unwavering support throughout this journey. My two young children were also deeply involved; I captured their adorable little handprints in the kiln room doorway, serving as a constant reminder of my motivation to make this business thrive.
From Clay to Kiln to Table
Small Batch. Slow Made. Intentional.
Each piece begins as a lump of earthy stoneware and is shaped by hand on the wheel. From throwing and trimming to glazing and firing, every form moves through more than a dozen careful steps.
I hand-stamp each piece with the Hayes Ceramics mark as a quiet signature of authenticity. Glazes are poured and dipped organically, allowing subtle overlaps and movement to create a finish that is never exactly the same twice.
Fired twice in the kiln for strength and durability, each piece is made to be used, loved, and passed around the table for years to come.

Holiday Orders
Items typically take 3 to 4 weeks to complete. Holiday orders can present a much longer and unpredictable timeframe. Specific request and large orders, especially wholesale orders, are greatly appreciated in October or earlier.
Custom Orders
I am always open to hearing your ideas! My ideal custom order would be an item under 10” in height/diameter, align with brand aesthetic and be round/symmetrical as I work primarily on the potters wheel. Please reach out with any questions, photo references are appreciated!
