Authors Love of the Beach

It all started on a beach called Te Arai.

Our love affair with the beach inspired us to integrate its essence into our ceramics. Starting with the sand collected from our wetsuits after a surf, this natural touch not only connects us to our favourite places but also infuses each piece with a unique coastal charm.

Online Course

Author at Home

The online pottery experience that turns your kitchen table into a clay-covered studio. This isn't another boring course. It's hands-on, heart-first, and made for people who want to create something real with stories, fingerprints, and a bit of beautiful mess.

Shop by coastline

Four clay blends. Four shorelines.

Our four clay blends aren't just recipes they're the coastline, reimagined. Each one is built from the sand, stone, and stories of Aotearoa's shorelines, from black volcanic sand to pale coastal speckles. It's the land, fired and made to last.
