The Process
At Sarah Welch Pottery, we make every piece by hand in our Jaroso, Colorado workshop. Each bowl is hand cast with our own clay slip, bisque-fired, hand-glazed, and high-fired in an electric kiln to ensure strength and durability. We formulate all of our glazes in-house to ensure they’re safe, vibrant, and uniquely our own.

Disclaimer
Because each bowl is handmade, slight variations in size, shape, and glaze pattern are to be expected. These are not flaws—they’re the mark of a truly one-of-a-kind object. All materials are safe for food, and the bowl is both microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
