This weekend, a few friends and neighbors headed to Sausalito to visit Heath Ceramics during their Open Studio weekend. Founded in 1959, Heath was recently purchased by designers Robin Petravic and Catherine Bailey who have interjected some much needed design and marketing acumen to the iconic brand. They've done well, in my humble opinion, and it's always nice to visit.
Robin lead the tour and spoke eloquently about Heath's past and their values -- and walked the tour group through the process... from clay-making to final glazing. It was neat to see.
The openness of their facility and the honest, humble building is quite photogenic... so I snapped a few pictures.
Had a GREAT time and I love my new salt and pepper shakers.
