the maker

Hi, I'm Catalina.

Catalina Ceramics began with a wheel, a window, and a love of imperfect things. I throw every mug and bowl by hand, so each one keeps its own small wobble, its own run of glaze, its own freckled skin where the minerals bloomed in the kiln.

I letter many of my pieces myself, in the same loose hand you see on “wanna coffee?”, because the best objects are the ones that say something. Nothing here is mass-made. That's the whole point.
