DAVISTUDIO: CREATIVITY & CONNECTION

Known for her use of brilliant color and her handmade slipcast method, ceramicist Mary Anne Davis moved to the Hudson Valley from New York City in 2000. Outside of Chatham, she established a studio overlooking rolling hills and deep, green woods. There, she works with a team of women potters to handcraft dinnerware, dishes and art objects that find their way onto the tables and into the collections of creative people around the world.

PORCELAIN: DESIGN & DURABILITY

Despite its delicate appearance, porcelain dinnerware is more durable than earthenware or stoneware. Crafted from a blend of minerals and kaolin clay, it's fired at very high temperatures, resulting in long-lasting and luminous pieces.

Our porcelain is handmade using plaster slipcasts, which lend our objects their organic shape and subtle wave-like surface. In bone white or glazed with bright colors, each piece reflects the light like sun on water.

OUR PROCESS:
HANDMADE & HOLISTIC

Every collection is handcrafted using clay made from a mix of organic grolleg, kaolin, and flint. We slipcast, bisque fire and hand-glaze each piece before firing it again for strength.
