There’s something that connects people and handmade useful pots, a thread that runs through history and cultures and is still drawing us together now. Whenever possible, Tristan loves to fire her pieces with real flames, ideally wood, and revels in the marks and colors the fire and atmospheric elements such as soda and wood ash leave forever on the clay. Tristan has been making pottery since the early 90s, hooked on clay as soon as she sat down at a wheel. It took several years to get the hang of throwing pots, but from the beginning Tristan was most passionate about making functional pieces. Tristan’s favorite mugs and bowls have become friends, and she hopes you will also find new favorite pieces to bring home and enjoy.
