santa’s workshop is OPEN and CLOSED.

for some reason, the holiday crunch is hitting me much earlier this year and i am already swamped with holiday orders. for those of you who know me, you know that i am a one-girl-show. i have no help in the studio in any way, shape, or form. if you order something from my handmade line, i’m the one who made it, glazed it, packaged it, and shipped it. many of my friends think i am CRAZY not to have help in the studio. but this is how i like it. plus, my inner-ethic tells me that if my name is on the bottom of it, i should be the one who made it.


my manufactured line, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. this line is produced in a factory in the south of china (the same village where my father’s family came from). i design the line, by magenta, and other people make it, glaze it, and ship it.

if you placed your holiday wholesale order with me early, thank you. if you have NOT placed your order, i am sorry to say that i can not take anymore wholesale orders this year. but you can always order my manufactured line here.

MAHALO.

MAHALO is the hawaiian word for “THANK YOU.” such a pretty word. i had a customer who special ordered these plaques. i love the way they turned out. there are 2 extra plaques that are available to buy

fall.

fall is my FAVORITE season of the year. i love the slight crispness in the air, the abundance of root vegetables, and the onset of the holidays . . . (my birthday, thanksgiving, and christmas).


and although fall is not quite here yet, i designed a limited edition set of fall plates that you can ONLY get at terrain.

see them here.

made in france.

you can take the girl out of her production studio,
but you can’t take the production studio out of the girl.


click here to see most of what i made in france (from start to finish in 3 weeks). i also made a series of 20 cups, 2 of which broke and the rest sold + a bunch of clunkers that were not photo-worthy. it is so shocking how much you can accomplish when you have nothing else to worry about and you are doing what you truly love to do. i HIGHLY recommend a residency at A.I.R. VALLAURIS. it was a life changing experience.

studio scene.

i made a few really thin porcelain cups. pressing letters into this beautiful porcelain when the clay is *just right* is so satisfying . . . and what is even more satisfying is pressing FRENCH words into the clay . . . ooh-la-la.

spring is springing.

as a californian, i feel that we hardly even experienced a WINTER this year, especially when i spent most of it in the studio designing for SPRING. these new gingham plates are making their debut at TERRAIN. as you might know, i LOVE this store and am honored to have some of my handmade wares featured there. i designed these plates with the spring picnic in mind. so that even if you live in a not-so-california-weathered-place, you can still bring the outside picnic feel INside. have an indoor picnic and get the better of that bad weather !
