Chef Melissa King serves up Hot Pot for the Chinese New Year on some of our favorite pieces in the February issue of Sunset Magazine: the small nesting bowl in Camarillo White from our new Selene Line, the salad plate in Mr. Jade, also from our Selene Line, and the Garrett bowl in Black Hills Black from our beloved California Line. All of these pieces are available from our online store or from our boutique in Emeryville. Happy New Year!

This is the perfect gift for your sweetie. Ticket price is per couple and includes all materials as well as the glazing, firing and shipping of two pieces made. Guests will also receive 20% off anything in our boutique on the day of the workshop.

Clay with Your Food in Association with San Francisco Design Week 2017
Sunday, June 18th, 4-7pm

 

We are excited to announce our third annual Clay with Your Food for San Francisco Design Week. Three Bay Area chefs will compete in a food-meets-performance-art triathlon in our Richmond studio. Adam Tortosa from Robin, Jeff Russell from Charlie Palmer Steak and Brandon Jew from Mr. Jiu's will prepare culinary wonders in the kiln at 1,000 degrees, throw their own serving dish on the potter's wheel, and plate food on sculpture made by our very own International Clayboy and Vesselist, Jered Nelson. Our esteemed judges this year are Chef Daniel Patterson, food writer Rebecca Flint Marx, and artist Victor Reyes.

The culinary arts have a position on the world stage like never before, and with this exposure comes an opportunity to go beyond what is commercial to something more profound. The purpose of this event is to see what happens when chefs are asked to approach the art of plating and design from outside of their ordinary environments, to push them beyond the edge of what is considered reasonable.

To change things up this year, we are adding poets who will compose on-the-spot verse about the chefs' plated sculptures. Guest poets are Hugh Behm-Steinberg, MK Chavez, and Poet Laureate of El Cerrito, Maw Shein Win. Tickets, which include street food from San Francisco's beloved Namu Gaji, are available here. 

Join us for our first ever Jered's Pottery pop-up store in San Francisco. For three days only we'll be in SF's historic Jackson Square. Come see and feel our new pieces and glazes, and meet our potter Jered Nelson.

We will be open March 10-12 from 10am-7pm at 526 Washington St, San Francisco, CA.

Holiday Open Studio Party 2016

Saturday, December 10th, 10am-6pm

It's that time of year! Join us for our annual all-day Holiday Open Studio Party in Richmond. We'll have cookies made in the kiln, live music, mulled wine, and activities in clay for kiddos. Jered may even do a special raku firing.

Stop by for some holiday cheer and to pick up some gorgeous handthrown gifts. Jered will introduce a few new items from the California Line, and many one-off pieces in new glazes and textures. Nothing says I Love You like a piece of Jered's Pottery. Handmade, always, out of California Clay.

 

 

Ever wonder how potters manage to throw consistent sets of plates, bowls or cups on their wheels? Join Jered at our Richmond studio on Sunday, September 18th from 10am to 4pm as he leads an intensive, fun and irreverant class, focusing on sharing some of his throwing techniques. This workshop will have master level tips and time available to answer questions. People with some experience wheel throwing and trimming welcome. There are only five spaces available. Everyone will work on their own wheel. Get your tickets here!
