Peaches the Studio
2020 - 2022


Peaches is a multidisciplinary ceramic and mold-making studio in Portland, Oregon, designing highly artful yet functional objects that explore color, pattern, and form. Influenced by nature, movement, and the elements, Peaches' products are both beautiful and practical. As an industrial ceramicist, I handled the intensive slip casting process, including casting, glazing, Nerikomi colorwork, mold making and more. I began as an intern and quickly transitioned to a full-time role. My experience included daily production as well as special projects such as furniture production, a Kickstarter campaign, a jewelry line, natural dye, photo and video shoots.
