About us
SVEN Ceramics is an entirely collaborative business comprised of the two of us, Sven and Mallie. We started the business in 2015, and have been making handmade pottery together for the past 8 years. We have made custom work for many cafes and restaurants across the world, and have recently been focusing on our more artistic line of bespoke pieces.
We love cooking, eating, traveling, listening to copious amounts of audiobooks (fantasy, mystery, sci-fi, historical fiction), and exploring our city on electric bikes!
Up until now, we've been making all of our work in our cozy backyard studio. But we're busy working on getting a dedicated brick and mortar to share with other artists!
Getting a Dedicated Space
The two of us are currently fundraising to acquire a shareable art space in San Francisco. The time has come to move out of our tiny backyard studio so we can make more ceramics, and make dinnerware again! We have a much more efficient and sustainable kiln coming this Summer (made by Blaauw), and it needs a roof and a home. We would love to have it in a space that we could share with other ceramicists. We would also love to be able to have in-person events and workshops for the first time!
And so, we're doing everything we can to get the loan to buy a local warehouse. We're having a Collection Release, and in the first week of May will be doing an Art Auction of special and rare pieces we've been making over the years, and doing a raffle for some gold lustre mugs! We also have a GoFundMe if you'd like to support us in this exciting new chapter.
Thank you for all of your support, we so appreciate you!
