About Us

Red ButtWelcome to Red Butt Ceramics. We are so pleased you have found us in our little piece of the internet. If you have met us before you may know our story of what "Red Butt" comes from however here is the visual. Meet Lou the red butt who works in the studio with us (you can see her red tail feathers).
If you have not met us or asked about why we are called Red Butt Ceramics, heres the scoop. Enter Lou 👈. She is our African Grey Parrot who works in the studio with us. She has the intelligence of a 7 year old so it makes it very interesting.
She is 11 years old (2023) and is an awesome, sometimes a terrorist, but loving little person. I wish I had a more salacious story for you but there it is, pretty tame.
We started Red Butt in 2020 and it has quickly grown into what we are today. I would say our number one question is if we "make it all" and the answer is yes we do. Every. Single. Piece is made right here in our home studio. Our big focus is on Wine cups and mugs but we also delve into bowls and plates. You can follow us on TikTok to see behind the scenes of what this is like and who we are. Follow us here
Thanks for stopping by and please reach out if you have any questions.
Artists Statement

 

"Ephemeral Elegance: A Celebration of Upscale Unique, Handmade, Hand Coloured Porcelain"

As a Wife and Husband team devoted to the craft of creating upscale handmade porcelain, we are captivated by the delicate dance between artistry and functionality. In our pursuit of excellence, each piece emerges from the hands as a testament to the timeless beauty and enduring allure of this exquisite medium.

In a world saturated with mass-produced items, our creations stand as an homage to the artisanal spirit, a revival of the meticulous craftsmanship that defines the true essence of luxury. Each porcelain piece undergoes a transformative journey, shaped by the marriage of traditional techniques and contemporary design, resulting in a collection that seamlessly blends the past with the present.

Our artistic process is an intimate exploration of form, texture, and color, guided by a commitment to evoke emotion and provoke contemplation. The tactile nature of porcelain allows us to mold ethereal shapes, capturing the ephemeral nature of beauty and the transient moments that make life extraordinary. The subtle translucency of the material adds a layer of mystique, inviting viewers to engage with the interplay of light and shadow that animates each creation.

Beyond the aesthetic allure, our work embodies a commitment to sustainability and ethical craftsmanship. Each piece is a testament to the conscientious choice of materials, responsible production practices, and the celebration of the inherent uniqueness in every handmade creation. Through this dedication, we hope to inspire a reconnection with the value of the handmade in a world that often overlooks the artistry inherent in the everyday.

In a society that rushes toward the future, our upscale handmade porcelain stands as a resolute pause, an invitation to saver the beauty in the details and relish the enduring elegance of the handmade. "Ephemeral Elegance" is not just a collection of porcelain artifacts; it is a declaration of the enduring power of art to enrich our lives and elevate the everyday to the extraordinary.
