Handcrafted, one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces by harlow.

My sister and brother-in-law have recently gotten into ceramics. And I thought their style would align perfectly with the audience of this newsletter. Inspired by coastal forms and soothing palettes, each piece is slowly built by hand, ensuring a truly one-of-a-kind creation that would look great in any home along the beach.

When placing an order, each piece will be carefully packaged and mailed directly to your home. Plus, a portion of every sale supports various charitable organizations, including Pet Partners and the Surfrider Foundation.

Explore their available pieces at harlow.studio and follow along on Instagram @harlowstudiochs for new works and behind-the-scenes glimpses.
