Handmade things, made slowly, by real people.
Terra & Thread is a marketplace for pottery, weaving and woodwork from 48 independent makers. Every piece is one of a kind, and 80% of each sale goes straight to the maker.

Questions
Is every piece really handmade?
Yes. Every item is made by hand by the maker named on the page. No mass production and no factories.
Why does my piece look a little different from the photo?
Because it's handmade, each piece has small differences in glaze, colour and texture. That's what makes it one of a kind.
Can I become a maker?
We welcome applications from independent makers. Send us photos of your work and we'll arrange a studio visit.
