Process

Every piece in the Wolf Rose collection is hand-built in a process that takes several weeks. The distinctive characteristics and subtle variations result from the clay's water content, the temperature both outside and in the studio, and the kiln-firing placement. These elements interact with the maker’s visible finger marks, grounding each piece to a specific time and place. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and celebrates imperfection, embracing the ethos of wabi-sabi with a subtle in-the-rough beauty,

Wolf Rose Studio is informed by historical references, including Paleolithic Venus figurines, which reflect an ambiguously gendered torso resembling a face, and dual-handled Greek amphora vessels from the 11th century.

Wolf Rose pottery is made locally in New York City.
