We are committed to quality craftsmanship and ethical restoration. Here’s why clients across the U.S. including the White House and national museums,trust us to restore their most valuable pieces.

1. We Are Ceramic Artists First

As a fully operational pottery studio, we work daily with porcelain, terracotta, stoneware, and clay sculptures. Our hands-on experience with creating ceramics allows us to make informed, material-specific decisions during every repair and restoration.

2. Authentic Restoration Using Kiln-Fired Clay

When original parts like handles, spouts, or limbs are missing, we sculpt replacement parts from real clay and fire them in our kiln. This results in durable, accurate, and seamless repairs that preserve both structural strength and aesthetic value.
