How We Make Our Pots

At East Fork, we make reduction-fired stoneware, a technique that’s been used by potters for centuries, from Appalachia to Japan. It’s not the easiest way to fire pottery, but it gives us the results we’re after: depth, variation and a finish that feels honest and alive.

Sourcing Clay

Sourcing Clay

We blend our clay body in-house, using materials primarily sourced from the American Southeast. It’s rich in iron, which, during firing, reacts in a way that gives our pots their signature speckled look.

Formulating Glazes

Formulating Glazes

Our glazes are developed in-house, using recipes our materials team has honed over years of testing. It’s part science, part art, experimenting until something finally clicks and we all go: yep, that’s the one.

Forming Our Pots

Forming Our Pots

We use a few different methods to shape our clay into plates, bowls, mugs and more. Once the forms are made, each piece is hand-trimmed or finished with a sponge machine to smooth the edges before its first firing.

Firing & Glazing

Firing & Glazing

Once the pots are fully dry, they go through their first bisque firing. The next day, they’re glazed, fired again, checked for quality and packed up to head to their new home. A lot of hands touch each pot before it get to you.

Very much so! It outfits four people at the table and comes with a Serving Bowl and Large Oval Platter, so there’s somewhere to put the salad, roast chicken or vegetables sides.

Start by adding extra Dinner Plates, Side Plates, Bowls and Mugs for the additional seats at your table. You don’t need to duplicate every piece in the set unless you want to. A few extra place-setting pieces will help you feed more people, while the Serving Bowl and Large Oval Platter can keep doing their job in the middle of the table.

All East Fork pottery is made at our factory in Asheville, North Carolina, using a blend of stoneware clays and minerals sourced from the American Southeast. Our team combines skilled handwork with specialized pottery equipment to shape, finish, and glaze each piece. We then fire our pottery in gas kilns using a reduction process that brings out signature iron speckles and natural glaze variations.

We make our pottery with a blend of stoneware clays and minerals that we develop in-house and iterate on nonstop. We source our materials from the American Southeast which helps minimize our carbon footprint and keeps our products rooted in the land we call our home.

East Fork’s clay is rich in iron, as it has been since the beginning, and through a process of limiting the oxygen in the kiln during part of the firing, iron molecules are drawn to the surface of the clay, resulting in our signature iron spots, also lovingly referred to as speckling.

East Fork’s core colors make up our year-round palette. Seasonal colors come and go with the seasons, while limited colors are produced in smaller one-time runs or for special releases. Start with core colors to build your collection over time, or mix in seasonal and limited colors as they catch your eye.

We’ve brought retired colors back before, but a past return doesn’t guarantee a future one. If you have a favorite, keep an eye out for our Seconds Sales where hard-to-find colors may surface, and follow our email announcements and Instagram for re-releases.
