Our Story

Sanny Ceramics makes fine functional wares for our eating and drinking rituals.

Ceramic wood fired art

Having an affection for the utilitarian objects with which we routinely engage increases our quality of life. It is gratifying to use something that is made with integrity, whether for daily enjoyment or special occasions.

Porcelain or stoneware is the artist's chosen medium because of the tactile nature of the clay throughout the various stages of the ceramic process. Runs of pieces are handcrafted in small batches. Glazes are hand-mixed by the artist.

The high-fired, durable wares can be warm or cool, depending on their contents. Surface treatments vary from smooth or rough to the touch. They can look visually complex or like a blank canvas depending on the glaze and firing atmosphere. They must be held to be fully appreciated.
