Time Capsule
A bespoke piece made with your sand.
For years, we’ve embedded sand into our clay to tell our own story.
Now we’re opening that up to you.
our first bespoke, custom service.
You collect a small amount of sand from a beach that holds meaning in your life,
the beach you grew up on,
where you proposed,
where you scattered ashes,
where your kids learned to swim,
where something changed.
You send it to us (2 Tbsp of Sand).
We carefully blend your sand into our clay and create one of our classic Author pieces, permanently locking that place into the form. Fired. Finished. Built to last.
A physical object holding a memory. Available Pieces (Launch Range)
To begin, available in a limited selection of our core designs:
Coastal Pillow Vase
Coastal Salad Bowl
Coastal Boring Platter
Each piece is handmade in our Avondale studio and carries the texture and story of your chosen shoreline. How It Works
You order your piece.
We send instructions for sending your sand.
You post a small, clearly labelled amount to our studio (2 Tbsp of Sand).
We create your piece.
We fire, finish, and ship it back to you.
Please allow 8–10 weeks from the time your sand arrives in the studio.
This process can’t be rushed — each piece is made individually, slowly, and properly. A Note on Collecting Sand
Sand should only be collected from locations where it is legally permitted and environmentally responsible to do so. Please ensure you have the right to take a small amount from the beach you choose.
We use only a minimal quantity in each piece — just enough to hold the story, not disturb the place.
