Meet Stephanie, Karen, and Corey of Seattle-based Ceremony. This food loving trio met while taking pottery classes together which led to the founding of their studio in 2020. Each piece is hand thrown and individually, meticulously painted and glazed by hand. They believe that the practice of combining earth and water and fire to create ceramics is both sacred and ceremonial. Their pieces are designed to celebrate and enrich daily rituals.
We visited their light-filled studio in April 2021. Get to know these three below.
