Leave it by the stove and consider one small corner of the kitchen handled.

At East Fork, we make reduction-fired stoneware, a technique that’s been used by potters for centuries, from Appalachia to Japan. It’s not the easiest way to fire pottery, but it gives us the results we’re after: depth, variation and a finish that feels honest and alive.

We blend our clay body in-house, using materials primarily sourced from the American Southeast. It’s rich in iron, which, during firing, reacts in a way that gives our pots their signature speckled look.

Our glazes are developed in-house, using recipes our materials team has honed over years of testing. It’s part science, part art, experimenting until something finally clicks and we all go: yep, that’s the one.

We use a few different methods to shape our clay into plates, bowls, mugs and more. Once the forms are made, each piece is hand-trimmed or finished with a sponge machine to smooth the edges before its first firing.

Once the pots are fully dry, they go through their first bisque firing. The next day, they’re glazed, fired again, checked for quality and packed up to head to their new home. A lot of hands touch each pot before it get to you.

Fill your home and kitchen with beautiful, enduring goods.

We like having all of our kitchen tools close at hand, with a little room to spare, so we made this crock generously sized. Our team fit more than 20 spoons, spatulas, and other utensils at one time, but the exact number of utensils you fit in will depend on what you have in your kitchen.

Certainly. Its generous size can hold a large bouquet and you already know we’re in favor of pottery having more than one use around the home.

All East Fork pottery is made at our factory in Asheville, North Carolina, using a blend of stoneware clays and minerals sourced from the American Southeast. Our team combines skilled handwork with specialized pottery equipment to shape, finish, and glaze each piece. We then fire our pottery in gas kilns using a reduction process that brings out signature iron speckles and natural glaze variations.

We make our pottery with a blend of stoneware clays and minerals that we develop in-house and iterate on nonstop. We source our materials from the American Southeast which helps minimize our carbon footprint and keeps our products rooted in the land we call our home.

East Fork’s clay is rich in iron, as it has been since the beginning, and through a process of limiting the oxygen in the kiln during part of the firing, iron molecules are drawn to the surface of the clay, resulting in our signature iron spots, also lovingly referred to as speckling.
