Please enjoy using and giving Terrafirma.” - Ellen Evans, Founder and Artistic Director - Terrafirma Ceramics

Each Terrafirma piece is entirely handmade from stoneware and porcelain at their Queens studio in the heart of New York City. After being shaped by hand, several layers of porcelain clay are then layered on the top surface in order to create a white background. he surface of the pottery is then painted through lace or fabric laid on top of each piece to add color and a unique surface texture to the delicate porcelain. Each piece of handmade ceramic pottery then enters the kiln for the first time and is fired to approximately 1500℉ to harden. It then gets another clear glaze and is fired again to 2200℉ creating a functional and durable ceramic piece that is completely food and dishwasher safe. Every collectible Terrafirma Ceramics piece is signed and dated by Ellen Evans.
Since each piece of ceramic is individually handmade, all sizes are approximate. Variations in color, texture, surface blushing and other minor imperfections are to be expected and assure each piece of its individuality.
