Since 1998, davistudio has created strong, color-saturated porcelain from local clay.

Mary Anne Davis has worked at the center of the ceramic art world for the past 40 years, with exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo,  and elsewhere. The New York Times praised her durable porcelain dinnerware as "thin as an eggshell, in a surprising rainbow of colors.” In 1998, she created davistudio, a workshop operated by women. Using custom-made clay sourced from upstate New York, the studio handcrafts porcelain in chromatic glazes and organic shapes, each a one-of-a-kind object.

IT'S TIME TO LIVE IN COLOR
STUDIO
We believe that art and life are one, and that setting the table is a creative act. A small team of women, we make porcelain by hand in a studio outside of Chatham, New York. We celebrate the infinite variety of clay, color and the human hand in all we do.

PROCESS
Using a custom formula, we source white kaolin-based clay from a local manufacturer in upstate New York. We fill plaster molds with liquid clay slip, then fire it to nearly 2200 degrees for enduring porcelain that holds up to daily use. The clay is a canvas for pure color. Glazes highlight each piece’s subtle surface, like water reflecting sunlight.
