Sustainable by Design
Learn how our commitment to the planet is an integral part of our art.
Our Three Pillars of Green Craftsmanship
Responsible Materials
We prioritize locally-sourced Illinois clay, reducing shipping emissions. We also incorporate reclaimed clay from our own processes and use recycled glass in many of our unique glazes and glass pieces.
Efficient Processes
Our studio is equipped with modern, high-efficiency kilns that use significantly less energy per firing. We've also implemented a closed-loop water reclamation system for clay mixing and cleanup.
Lasting Design
The most sustainable product is one you never have to replace. We create durable, timeless pieces designed to be cherished for a lifetime, countering the trend of disposable decor.
Our Impact, By the Numbers
30%
