Shiro Studio · Coastal NC

Made slowly,
made by hand,
made to last.

Every piece that leaves this studio started as a lump of clay on a wheel in a small home studio in Burgaw, North Carolina. I throw, trim, glaze, and fire everything myself — from the first pull to the final kiln load. No shortcuts, no assembly line. Just quiet, intentional work.

Wheel-thrown
Trimmed, bisque fired, hand-glazed, and glaze fired — every step done by one pair of hands
The pieces

Mugs, bowls, planters — things made to be used, not just admired on a shelf

There's something grounding about making things with your hands when your whole workday lives on a screen. Clay doesn't care about your code.
