Origin Story

Terroir, a french term for “soil”, refers to the natural environment where something is produced - perfectly embodying Sydney’s story as a potter.

Sydney grew up in Palm Springs - quite literally in the dirt. She first discovered her love for pottery and all things clay at a young age when her parents opened a paint-it-yourself ceramics shop in the desert called The Hard Clay Cafe. Her love for art, design and making things with her hands followed her across the country to New York City and back again to her roots in California.

Today, Sydney throws handmade pieces from recycled clay out of her studio in Los Angeles.
