Turn the ordinary into art with a one-of-a-kind handmade ceramic piece created by Erika Bauer Thornton of Artist Till Death.

Each piece is individually hand-thrown, sculpted, carved, glazed, and kiln-fired in my studio with an obsessive love for clay, texture, color, and character. No molds. No mass production. No two pieces will ever be exactly alike.

I use high-quality stoneware clay and layered premium glazes chosen for their richness, movement, depth, and durability. Every firing creates its own unique magic — giving each piece subtle variations and personality that simply cannot be replicated by factory-made ceramics.

These pieces are designed to be both functional and collectible:
• Food safe
• Dishwasher safe
• Microwave safe
• Made for everyday use and lifelong enjoyment

From whimsical face mugs and sculptural vessels to tumblers, shot glasses, flowerpots, and statement pieces, my ceramics are meant to bring joy, spark conversation, and make daily rituals feel a little more special.

Every piece passes through my hands multiple times throughout the process — shaping, trimming, detailing, glazing, sanding, firing, and finishing — and every single one carries a little piece of my heart with it.

Thank you for supporting handmade art, small business, and artists who still make things the slow way.
