Why Handmade Ceramics Cost More Than Machine-Made Steel.

Value, scarcity, and the labor nobody sees.

About this evening

A handmade ceramic mug can cost more than a steel pot made by machine. The price gap isn't about the material. It's about time, scarcity, and the labor that happens before anyone sees the finished piece.
A complimentary glass of wine or beer, on us. Must be 21+ to enjoy.
