Inspired by the couple’s rustic Vermont heritage, Peter Sheldon and his fiancée, Ellen Woglom, have created a line of handmade ceramics that are, in a word, perfect.
For the East LA-based duo behind Sheldon Ceramics, capturing a quality of timelessness is key. They strive to create ceramic cups, bowls, plates and pots that honor craft, functionality and a modern design aesthetic in equal measure. The result is a collection of ceramic goods that feel modern now – and will keep well long into the future.
