Larchmont Kiln WorksJoin the drop list

Next batch: Friday 10am ET · 42 pieces

Small-batch stoneware, thrown by hand in Vermont

One maker, one wheel, one kiln load at a time. The store opens every other Friday at 10am ET with roughly forty pieces — mugs, serving bowls, and planters. When it's gone, it's gone.

Shop the Current Batch

Everything below came out of the same firing. Counts are live and honest — when a piece reads sold out, it is sold out until the next kiln load. Pieces ship double-boxed with insurance included; shipping is paid at checkout.

How a Drop Works

The store isn't always open — it opens when a kiln load is ready. That's every other Friday at 10am ET, roughly forty pieces, first come. Here's the whole sequence, so nothing about it is a surprise.

  1. 1

    Thursday, 10am ET

    The list sees it first

    Every piece in the firing posts to the drop list a full twenty-four hours early — photos, measurements, glaze notes, exact counts. No teasers, no partial reveals.

  2. 2

    Friday, 10am ET

    The store opens

    Roughly forty pieces go live at once. First come, no holds, no reserves, no restocks. Most mugs are gone inside twenty minutes; bowls take an hour or two.

  3. 3

    The following week

    Packed by the same hands

    Orders are double-boxed with insurance included and leave the studio Tuesday and Thursday. Shipping is calculated at checkout — never marked up.

03

From the Wheel

Thirty seconds of scrolling is enough to see that nothing here is poured from a mold. One pair of hands moves every piece from wet clay to the shelf.

01
WedgingThree pounds of Vermont-dug stoneware body, wedged until the clay stops arguing.
02
ThrowingAbout eight minutes per mug, centered by eye, pulled in three passes.
03
TrimmingLeather-hard the next morning. Foot rings cut by hand, chattered, signed LKW.
04
GlazingDipped twice, wiped, fired to cone 6 in oxidation. Roughly one in nine does not survive.

Find Us at the Market

If you'd rather pick a mug up with your own hands, the studio brings a table to the Burlington Saturday farmers market. What's on the shelf there comes from the same firings as the online drops — usually the pieces that didn't make it into the batch grid.

When
Saturdays, 8:30am – 2pmMay through late October, weather permitting.
Where
Burlington Farmers Market · Table 19345 Pine Street, north end, beside the cider stand.
What

About the Maker

Larchmont Kiln Works is one person in a Burlington, Vermont studio. The batches are small because the wheel is the bottleneck, and keeping it that way is the point — every mug, bowl, and planter is thrown, trimmed, glazed, and packed by the same pair of hands.

  • 2016

    A secondhand wheel in a Winooski basement and two years of mugs nobody should have paid for.

  • 2019

    The studio moved to Pine Street in Burlington — one wheel, one kiln, one shelf of drying boards.

  • Today

    About forty pieces every fortnight. Thrown, trimmed, glazed, fired, and packed by the same pair of hands.
