THE CLAY ARCHIVE

Vessels of wild earth

A systematic catalog of hand-thrown stoneware, indexed by the precise geological coordinates of their alluvial and mountain clay origins. Every vessel is a physical record of time and place.

GEOLOGICAL SECTIONS

Two primary veins

Our work is organized strictly by the terrain from which the raw material was dug. Each distinct region yields unique mineral complexities and unpredictable firing temperaments.

Alluvial Deposits

Mountain Veins

Vessels slow-turned from wild clay harvested along ancient watercourses. Rich in iron and organic silt, these pieces fire to deep, dark tones with natural iron spots.

Formed from weathered granite and high-altitude deposits. These coarse, stubborn clays endure intense wood fires, retaining rough, tactile surfaces and beautiful kiln scars.

THE ARCHIVE

Documented vessels

A detailed record of individual pieces. Each archive entry documents the specific wild clay composition, weight, and precise kiln placement of the finished stoneware vessel.

ACQUISITIONS

Secure a piece

Each archived vessel represents a singular geological record. Collectors and interior designers may inquire about availability or arrange a private viewing at our stone-walled Gloucestershire workshop.
