Studio Correspondence

Notes from the Workshop

A short letter about new firings, upcoming workshop dates, and the occasional studio sale of seconds and one-off pieces. Sent a few times a season, never more.

I read every message myself and usually reply within two working days.

Notes on the Collection

Each piece in this collection is shaped by hand in small batches. Because of the nature of the material and the firing process, no two items are identical. Slight variations in tone, texture, and dimension are part of the character of handmade ceramics and should not be considered defects.

The glazes used are developed in the studio and may react differently depending on the clay body, kiln atmosphere, and firing temperature. As a result, the final surface of a piece can differ from the photographs shown on this site. We recommend reviewing the care instructions included with each item before use.

Pieces marked as numbered editions are produced in limited quantities. Once an edition is sold out, it will not be reproduced in the same form. Commissions for interior architects and designers are assessed on a project-by-project basis, and timelines are confirmed at the time of order.

All items are intended for decorative and table use as described. While the stoneware is durable and food-safe, we do not recommend placing pieces in the dishwasher or microwave unless explicitly stated on the product page. Hand washing is always the safest option.

This website is operated by Lucile Christmann. For any questions regarding a specific piece, an order, or a commission, please contact the studio directly using the details provided on the contact page.

Notes from the Studio, Clay Dust and All

A short letter a few times a year about new kiln firings, upcoming throwing workshops, and the occasional piece that didn't survive the glaze firing. No noise, just what's happening on the wheel and in the glaze buckets.

Prefer to talk about a custom commission for a interior project or a numbered edition? Write directly — every message is read at the studio table.
