    Ceramic Wallscapes

    As our creative business has evolved and relocated over the years we’ve found ourselves by the sea or gravitating to mountains to find our bearings. It is nature that keeps us grounded and centered.

    The “Makai”, Hawaiian for “to the sea”, ceramic design takes a less is more approach to bringing the outside in. Each piece seamlessly mounts to the wall with provided hardware.

FAQ - CLAY AND CRAFT

ABOUT OUR CERAMICS AND ARTWORK

Q: What makes Clay and Craft ceramics unique?
A: Each piece is handmade in our Southern California studio, blending modern design with timeless craftsmanship. No two works are ever alike — making every ceramic artwork and wall hanging a one-of-a-kind statement for your home.

Q: Are your ceramics functional or decorative?
A: Both. Some of our pieces are designed to be functional (vases, bowls, tableware) while others are strictly decorative including wall art or large scale floor to ceiling ceramic sculptures. Each product page includes details on intended use.
