Stoneware that sits lightly on the table.

Ode is a two-wheel studio in Porto. We throw moon jars, bottles and everyday cups in a local iron-rich clay, glaze them in ash and celadon, and fire them slowly over two days.

The October batch

Six pieces out of kiln three, each one signed on the foot.

Every piece is a one-off. Reserve it and we hold it for seven days — collect at the studio or we pack it in wool.

How we light the shop

Shelf, table, plinth.

In the studio a pot earns its height. We built this page the same way: three neutral shadows, never tinted, never stacked — and the tallest one used once per view.

  1. 01

    Shelf

    Beautiful sm

    For the quiet things — pills, inputs, the price tag, the button you press last.

  2. 02

    Table

    Beautiful md

    Where most pieces live. Cards, panels, the popover that says the kiln is hot.

  3. 03

    Plinth

    Beautiful lg

    One per view. The piece we want you to look at first, and nothing else.

Classes

Two wheels, eight stools, one long table.

Clay, aprons, glaze and two firings are included. You leave with what you made, about three weeks later.

Waitlist

Kiln letters, four times a year.

A note the week a kiln opens: what came out, what cracked, and first pick before the shop.
