Hi, I’m Rob

Sometimes people I’m especially close to call me Rob. Shaping clay by hand is an intimate and personal process — one that connects me to the people who use my work.That’s why when you’re holding or using a piece I’ve handcrafted with care, you can call me Rob.

Each piece I create is made by hand with care, intention, and an appreciation for the quiet beauty of everyday objects.

My work blends organic forms, earthy glazes, and simple silhouettes to create pieces designed to be held and used daily-warm coffee in the morning, a favorite dish served to friends, an after dinner conversation around a beautifully set table.

No two items are exactly alike, and that’s the point. Each one holds the marks of the moment in which is was made and the spirit of handmade work — small moments of uniqueness that can’t be replicated.

Rob Ceramics is for those who appreciate the process, the texture, and the timelessness of a well-crafted object.

I began my ceramics training in Portland, OR at my alma mater, Lewis and Clark College. After graduation, I continued taking classes at the local community college. I moved to Augusta, Georgia for a year, where I apprenticed with Tire City Potters, where I refined my throwing and production skills. In 2020, we moved to Richmond, Virginia where I found a new, wonderful clay community.

My goal is to create pieces that are comforting to use on a daily basis, and add a moment or two of joy, craft, and warmth to your daily rituals.
