A Year Around the Table
As the year comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on everything that’s been formed, shaped, and fired — both in our kilns and our community. From the hum of our factories in Asheville, to the warmth of our new store in Brooklyn, 2024 has been a year of growth, connection, and shared stories.
We’ve set countless tables, launched beautiful seasonal colors, welcomed new faces to Team East Fork, and deepened our commitment to Western North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene, donating 5% of every sale to organizations creating meaningful change since the storm. Through it all, you’ve been there! Thank you for showing up for us, our community, and welcoming our pieces into your home. Cheers!
