A small ceramics workshop / 2026
Silt & Salt
Made in batches. Sold at a human pace.
A potter whose work sold out in minutes wanted a shop that didn’t turn every collection into a race.
What they came with
Eva made useful pots in small batches. The existing shop borrowed the language of streetwear: countdowns, drops, and urgent emails. Customers were anxious. Eva was spending firing days answering messages about restocks.
What we saw in the fallow
We watched a kiln being unloaded. No two bowls were exactly alike, and the best conversations were about choosing one slowly. The sales model was fighting the objects. Eva was happy to make fewer launches if each one felt better.
A note from the work
A cup does not need a countdown.
— Ingrid & MateoWhat we made
An identity drawn from the quiet curve of a rim, and a collection-led website with clear dimensions, honest variations, and a permanent archive of past work. Each collection is announced with time to look. A simple stockist directory gives people another way to find the pots.
What grew
The first autumn collection took a fortnight to find its homes. That was the point. Eva kept her firing days free of customer service, and the archive became the most useful page for returning buyers.
“People are asking about the clay again.”
Eva, potter and founder
