 Our new line of dishware, Simplicity, offers a neutral canvas for your most elaborate feast or a casual lunch. It embraces a rustic, hands-on aesthetic, evident in the exposed clay and the timeless elegance of the rich creamy glaze. 

We believe the red of the clay informs you of the earth while the cream glaze creates the perfect backdrop to spotlight the most elegant meal or the simplest salad. 

Handcrafted in Northern California. 

About Jan Hoyman

“I have been a studio potter since 1976. And my work has always been highly decorated with colors. 

Recently however, I was planning a dinner with friends and I realized I didn’t have enough plates or a large bowl for salad, so I hurried through the glaze process without adding my usual flowers and birds. The result was my new line, Simplicity

The dinner was an astounding success as our friendships deepened, and now I will always associate strong friendship with my new simple and elegant dishes. I hope you will also allow Simplicity to touch your life.”
