About Us

Combining beauty & function

A husband & wife team working out of our home studio in New Orleans, Louisiana, we focus on texture and surface decoration of the thrown and hand-built form.

Wheel Throwing

Drew is more likely to be found throwing on the wheel.

Hand Building

Caitlin is more likely to be found hand building trays, ornaments, and ceramic paint palettes.

Painting & Glazing

Caitlin is always painting, but both Drew and Caitlin can be found glazing (Drew begrudgingly).

Andrew Rowland

Pottery for me is a practice of mindfulness, a way to find tranquility in the creative process. There is a grounding nature to working with clay and I hope to share the calm I discover in pottery with others, offering pieces that embody simplicity and peace. I’m continuously exploring and challenging the limits of clay, aiming to create works that resonate with those seeking a touch of serenity in their lives. I’m very interested in surface textures and the Japanese art of wabi-sabi, or embracing the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity.

Caitlin Wallace-Rowland

Trained as a painter and textile designer, Caitlin has always been an artist in one medium or another. Her passion is in surface pattern design, whether that is on the surface of the ceramics form, printed fabric, or fine art paintings. She enjoys translating her paintings and patterns onto the three-dimensional ceramic form through underglaze painting and sgraffito techniques and believes strongly in the intersection of beauty and functionality as an art form. Pottery is the perfect medium to embody both usefulness and beauty, as William Morris famously said: “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”

Laurel & Lilla

Our young daughters love to be creative (and create chaos) in the studio around us. Our logo of lilac flowers and laurel leaves is a tribute to them. Check out Laurel’s work, here.

“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” (we believe in things that are both!)
