Vessels shaped by fire and patience
We throw every bowl, mug and vase on the wheel in our Asheville studio, glaze it with minerals we blend ourselves, and fire it twice in a gas kiln. No two pieces are alike, and that is the point.

Kiln House Studio is run by Maren and Theo Lindqvist out of a converted textile mill on the French Broad River. We produce roughly two hundred pieces a month, which means we know every one of them personally.

Wedge & throw
Stoneware clay sourced from a Georgia pit is wedged by hand and centered on the wheel. Forms are thrown in series so each set belongs together.
Trim & bisque
After a day of drying, feet are trimmed and handles pulled. The first firing to cone 04 turns soft clay into porous bisqueware.
Glaze & fire
Glazes are dipped, poured and brushed. A final reduction firing to cone 10 locks in the color and makes every piece dishwasher-safe.
