Maker of the week
Kiln & Clay
Asheville, North Carolina
Mara Whitfield threw her first pot in a borrowed studio the winter she left a desk job for good. Ten years on, Kiln & Clay is a two-kiln workshop in the Blue Ridge foothills where every piece is wheel-thrown, trimmed and glazed by hand before a slow wood firing that takes three days to cool.
The makers' picks
Featured this season
Why handmade
What you're really buying
Made by one pair of hands
Every piece is wheel-thrown, carved, woven, forged or stitched by the maker who sells it — not a production line.
The maker is paid fairly
Makers set their own prices and keep the large majority. HEWN takes a flat, honest fee — no surprise deductions.
Built to last, not to replace
Natural materials and real joinery age into something better. These are objects you mend, not bin.
Honest about the wait
Some pieces are made to order and take weeks. We say so plainly on every product — good work can't be rushed.
