We create monumental bottles that express locality,
craftsmanship and material honesty.



 


1. WE FIND THE CLAY
Clay Scouting

We prefer to locate clay around your local area, but recycled or industrial clay can be used as well.




Sourcing

We make sure to source clay from a sustainable location not to harm the local ecosystem.




Testing

We test your clay to meet the highest standards for alcohol storing and bottles durability and longevity.




Extruding

Modelling

Hand-crafting takes place to perfect your bottles and personalize them for your finest customers.
