Colleen Hennessey Clayworks

In addition to making ceramics, Colleen has an ongoing art practice. “Selected Drawings and Concepts” takes materials from thirty years of notebooks, wry and poignant observations made with pen and ink. Colleen takes notice of improvised systems, absurdities, and mild tragedy with humor and affection. (97 pages, b/w, printed in USA, 2026, perfect bound, 8”x8”, limited edition.) Available now in our web shop (link in bio). $25 includes shipping within continental USA.

The ridges along the sides of our cereal/soup bowls are the imprint of Colleen’s hands pressing into the clay as she throws them on the wheel.

🩷🥚

A friend taught us about the Italian tradition of Acqua di San Giovanni. You gather fragrant flowers and leaves on the evening of June 23rd, pour some water on them and leave them outside to gather the dew overnight. On the morning of the 24th, everyone the family washes their face and hands in the fragrant water. Try it! It’s lovely. 💗🌸 .

Glossy, matte, speckled, wheat, rust, caramel, grey, and drips, always drips…

💗 A recent made-to-order set 💗

Love this kiln load that just came out!
