intention
designed to be loved and treasured for a long time, vp pottery will blend in with your life to make it ever more beautiful. each piece will feel sturdy and substantial without weighing you down.
vp pottery is made with thoughtfulness and care by human hands. because of that, each piece has its own unique story. No two vessels will be the same, just as no two people will be the same.
process
it’s more than just throwing a piece.
it’s waiting for it to dry, it’s trimming, it’s drying again, it’s the first firing, it’s the cleaning, it’s the glazing, it’s the second firing, it’s the sanding, and it’s so much more in between even that.
pottery is a teacher of patience.
