Tenderly Made Pottery
When pottery is tenderly made, it's as if the artist has poured their care and attention into each detail. The choice of clay, the rhythm of the wheel, the careful pulling and shaping of the material—all of it conveys a deep respect for the process and the final object. It’s an expression of the maker’s spirit, captured in each unique piece. Tenderness also manifests in the firing and glazing stages, where the potter carefully monitors temperatures, glazes, and firing techniques, ensuring that the piece is both functional and beautiful.
Pottery that is tenderly made carries with it a sense of warmth—whether it’s the warmth of the hands that shaped it or the inviting feeling it brings when used. Each time it is held or used, it continues to tell the story of the artist's intentions and the connection between human hands and the materials of the earth. The result is a creation that is as much about the experience of use as it is about the visual impact.
Creating ceramic pottery on a wheel is an intimate, tactile experience that can be as meditative and gentle as it is creative. By focusing on each stage with care and sensitivity, we develop a deeper connection with the material and produce pottery that feels both thoughtful and alive with the energy of our touch. When we are making our pottery “tenderly,” it allows us to approach the craft with mindfulness, sensitivity, and care, which in turn brings a more personal and intimate connection to the process.
Ceramic pottery, when crafted with care, becomes a beautiful union of form and function. It's an art that has been practiced for millennia, where each piece tells a story of human creativity, ingenuity, and connection to the earth. When made tenderly, ceramic pottery holds a special quality—an essence that speaks not only to the aesthetic but also to the tactile experience of the object.
We have created a palette of custom glazes to personalize The Ye11ow Studio pottery and make each piece truly one-of-a-kind. Experimenting with textures, colors, and firing methods allows us to push the boundaries of what's possible and discover new ways to express our Potters artistic vision.
