About the studio

We started Simple Ceramics in 2021 in a shared workshop on the edge of Utrecht. What began as an evening hobby slowly turned into a small studio with one electric kiln, two wheels and far too many glaze tests.

We work mostly with stoneware clay fired to 1240 °C. That makes our pieces sturdy, food-safe and dishwasher-friendly. Glazes are mixed in-house from simple recipes — celadons, iron reds, ash blues and a few matte finishes.

We don't run a web shop. New batches are announced to friends and regulars, and we take a handful of custom orders each season — sets of mugs for a café, tableware for a small restaurant, gifts for weddings.

Workshops

A few times a year we host small beginner workshops (up to four people). You'll throw your first bowls on the wheel, and we glaze and fire them for you afterwards.
