Lauren Koester spent 15 years as a creative in the games industry before funneling her nerdy hyperfixations into clay. Now, she's an active member of the San Francisco pottery community, currently learning everything from kiln repair to glaze chemistry. Her limited work spans functional pottery — stoneware mugs, ceramic bowls, vases, and everyday handmade ceramics with hidden charm — alongside sculptural pieces featuring inspiration from nature, silly little guys and putting a butt on anything that can fit one.

Every piece is one-of-a-kind, hand-built and fired by Lauren in San Francisco.
