LATEST KILN OPENING
New Work, Fresh from the Fire
Each piece is the only one of its kind. Sold pieces stay visible as a record of past work — and a reason not to wait.
This one-of-a-kind decorative vessel brings together the elemental nature of raku firing, the delicate markings of horsehair, and the art of kintsugi.*
Removed from the kiln while still intensely hot, individual strands of horsehair were placed against the vessel’s surface. As the hair burned away, it left behind the fine black lines, smoky trails, and spontaneous organic patterns that move across the piece. Each mark is created by heat and chance, making the surface impossible to duplicate.
Soft ivory, smoky blush, and warm earthen tones provide a quiet backdrop for these horsehair markings. A fine gold-toned kintsugi repair follows the vessel’s natural fracture lines, transforming its history into a visible part of the design rather than something to conceal.
Hand-thrown and individually fired, this vessel is entirely unique. Variations in color, smoke markings, fine surface crackle, and firing effects are inherent to the process and are part of the character of the piece.
Approximate dimensions: 6 in tall × 5 in wide.
Decorative use only. Not intended for food, drink, or holding water.
*Kintsugi is a Japanese repair tradition that treats cracks and breaks as part of an object’s history rather than something to hide. In this piece, the repaired line is highlighted with lacquer and gold mica, creating a warm metallic accent that honors the break and gives the vessel renewed character. The result is a one-of-a-kind decorative piece where imperfection becomes part of the beauty.
Handmade green ceramic bowl with a softly rounded form and a layered, speckled glaze in mossy green tones. A raised slip-trailed band wraps around the outside near the rim, adding subtle texture and movement while keeping the piece simple and earthy. This bowl is well suited for serving, display, or everyday use.
Approximate size: 3.25 inches tall x 8.25 inches wide. Because each piece is handmade, slight variations in size, shape, and glaze surface are part of its character.
Functional pottery pieces are food safe and dishwasher safe; however, hand washing is preferred to help preserve the finish and extend the life of each handmade piece.
This hand-thrown raku vessel has a rounded form with a softly flared rim and a rich, earthy surface. The glaze shifts through warm bronze, deep brown, smoky olive, and muted red tones, with subtle metallic highlights that catch the light across the curved body. The darker foot and softly varied surface give the piece an organic, grounded feel.
Approximate size: 5.5" tall x 5.25" wide.
Decorative use only. Not intended for food, water, or outdoor use.

Turquoise-green tones move across the body of the piece, accented by earthy rust, olive, copper, and deep brown variations near the base. Fine crackle lines and organic surface movement give the vessel depth, texture, and a one-of-a-kind character.
Approximate size: 5" tall x 5.25" wide.

MEET THE MAKER
Every piece begins in Pamela's hands.
Pamela Kearns has spent many years at the potter's wheel, and it shows in every curve and glaze. From her home studio in Sequim, Washington — in the rainshadow of the Olympic Mountains — she throws, trims, glazes, and fires each piece herself, start to finish.
Nothing here is mass-produced. Small variations in glaze and form aren't flaws; they're the signature of work made by hand instead of machine.
— Pamela Kearns
FROM THE STUDIO JOURNAL
Many Hands, One Table: Making Bowls for Empty Bowls
A community of potters turned donated clay, wheel time, and two days of glazing into handmade bowls for our local food bank’s Empty Bowls fundraiser.
01
Thrown
Each form is shaped on the wheel from raw stoneware — no two ever come out identical.
From Clay to Kiln
Weeks of work go into every piece before it reaches your table.
02
Glazed
Layered, food-safe glazes are mixed and applied by hand, chosen to suit each individual form.
03
Fired
High-fired in the kiln, where heat and chemistry finish what hands began — the final surprise in every opening.

I find her pottery pieces beautiful and unique, in both color and design. Her pieces are functional but the best part for me is that they are a visual art piece for me to display in my home.
