Archer Ceramics

Archer Ceramics is a small pottery studio based in Oak Park, IL, representing the work of Julia Archer. Architecture forms and surface textures influence her efforts, creating timeless, functional ware, elevating the everyday experience. All of Julia's pottery is handcrafted in stoneware, thrown on the wheel and glazed with much care and consideration.

With a background in design, she focuses on the materiality of the clay in combination with finishes and form that feeds her creative process. Julia works with a range of clay bodies and firing methods that contribute to her aesthetic expression.

You will find slight imperfections and marks, which speaks to the creation process, contributing to the uniqueness and beauty of the forms and ultimately becomes part of the individualized character expressed by each piece.
