Nick Moen Studios, based in Asheville, North Carolina, produces functional handmade porcelain to accent daily rituals. The work is based on a firm understanding of materials and integrates the finest clay with custom-made glazes. Each piece is the product of a small batch, produced from an expanding library of handmade molds. Small batch slip casting creates a beautiful marriage of handcrafted design and elegant precision. It allows a design to be reproduced with consistency and quality without losing its identity as a handcrafted object. (less)
