60 Hours of Fire and Transformation

From local West Texas clay to finished vessel, each piece spends three days in our wood-ash kiln. Desert mesquite and agave hearts create ash deposits that melt into natural glazes, making every firing a collaboration with fire, wind, and time.

What Our Clients Say

Every plate tells the story of its firing. Our guests notice the surfaces, the way light catches the ash glaze differently at every angle. It's become part of the experience of dining here.
