Who is David? David is a Southern transplant that can now be found in the Chicago area where he teaches ceramics and sculpture classes at a local university. David has been doing pottery for over 30 years. He primarily works with shino glazing because, well, shino.
When can I buy? Shop drops will happen every other month. The summer season typically includes a space at a few local farmer’s markets. David will be a part of the Northern Illinois Pottery Tour every June and hosts a Home and Garden Sale in the late summer, around August or September.

Shipping and Returns: I take great care in packing and shipping you your pots, and they are typically shipped out 1-3 days after your purchase. When pots are shipped I will contact you with a tracking number.
You may return anything you’re not happy with. I will refund you the price of the pot, and you are responsible for all return shipping charges.
If a pot arrives damaged (this is very rare), I will refund or replace it. Please hold onto the packaging for returns
Pickup: If you live in the Chicagoland area you can avoid shipping charges by choosing Pickup at checkout. If you choose this option, pickup is from my garage in Winfield, Illinois.
Live outside of the US? Please note that shipping rates and times will vary. Please contact me at the time of sale. We will find the option that works the best option for you and will add that charge directly to the shipping cost.
Is my stoneware safe in my kitchen appliances? Yes, all pots are microwave and dishwasher-safe.
How durable is my pottery? All ceramic pieces are highly durable and can survive daily use. Some customers even tell David they are still using bowls they bought from him decades ago.
