MAB Handmade Ceramics

Ceramics

MAB Handmade Ceramics creates small batch stoneware pottery inspired by classic silhouettes and elevated through bold color, tactile surfaces, and contemporary design. My pieces are wheel-thrown, hand-built, or a combination of the two in my home studio using a light stoneware clay body, then enhanced through carving or applied slip at the leather-hard stage to create surfaces that invite touch as much as they serve function.

I believe the objects we use every day should encourage us to slow down and engage with them. My goal is to create pottery that people instinctively want to hold and build into the quiet rituals of daily life.

Nocket Woodworking

Furniture

Nocket Woodworking makes solid wood furniture built to be handed down — dining tables, chairs, chests, dressers, shelves, and cabinets, plus smaller pieces for everyday use.

Every piece is built from solid hardwood in the Shaker tradition: clean lines, honest proportions, and joinery cut to last — mortise and tenon, dovetails, no particleboard or veneer. Species are chosen for grain and color, then worked with an eye to how each one moves with the seasons, so a piece stays true in a dry winter or a humid July. Each one is built by hand, one at a time, from rough lumber to finished surface.

Commissions welcome — bring a sketch, a room measurement, or just an idea.
