Hand Made, 
Hard Grown. 

PHK Ceramics is a small studio in Bloomington, Minnesota making one-at-a-time stoneware vessels for cactus, succulents, and bonsai. Each piece is thrown, hand built, trimmed, and glazed in my small home studio—then sent out with the plant in mind.

PHK Ceramics creates handmade ceramic pots, planters, and bonsai pots designed for cacti, succulents, and the people who collect them. Each piece is shaped by hand with organic textures, earthy glazes, and a character all its own.

02The Studio
Hands shaping a clay vessel in a sun-lit workshop

One pair of hands,
one pot at a time.

Every PHK ceramic starts as a lump of clay and ends as something completely unique. I make each piece by hand, embracing irregular forms, natural textures, and imperfect surfaces that complement the plants they hold.
