June 13, 10am–3pm at Phillipsdale Landing in East Providence. One day, no restock, close when it’s gone.

Seconds at 40% off, prototypes and one-of-a-kinds priced individually, past glazes and rare finds, studio equipment and ceramic books. We’re paring down and it all needs a home.

Snacks, coffee, and an early taste of the Ume soda we’ve been working on.

Come early. 📍 310 Bourne Ave Suite 14, Rumford RI

Fresh ume arrived from the day before we left for the Utility trade show in Chicago. They’ve been waiting patiently in the fridge for a quiet Sunday morning, and this is it.

Ume are Japanese plums, harvested green and tart before they fully ripen. You don’t eat them raw. You preserve them in salt, in sugar, in soy and let time do the rest. Today I’m making two jars: one ume syrup with shiso from our garden for summer cocktails, one ume shoyu for cooking when I want a brighter soy, closer to ponzu. The shiso adds a floral balance to the sweet tart fruit, plus it will color the syrup pink. Both jars will sit on the studio counter for the next few weeks before they’re ready.

We named our newest glaze Ume for this color, that particular yellow-green of the fruit just before it turns. Seeing them together on the plate this morning, we feel like we got it right.

Ume is a Studio Edition glaze, seasonal and made to order. Link in bio to shop.
