Katherine has been throwing pots for over 17 years, and running Civil Stoneware since 2017. After completing her fine arts and design degree in Georgia, she moved to Alabama to intern at the Birmingham Museum of Art where she examined and cataloged ceramic pieces from the African and Pre-Columbian collections. Currently a prop stylist for photographers, magazines, and ad agencies, Katherine feels these pieces are tools of the trade. Katherine's favorite thing to make in the studio is whatever new thing is coming next! Katherine designs every piece with love and is always looking for the next thing to bring to your table. Her creativity is endless and she leads our team with grace, generosity, and a spirit of humility that keeps our whole team inspired!

Grace has been with Civil Stoneware for two years, and she helps make our plates, bowls, and other slab-built wares. She puts a loving touch and attention to detail into everything she makes. Her favorite thing to make is our match striker! You'll see Grace when you stop in to visit our studio on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. She's always welcoming our visitors with her sweet smile! Grace is full of great ideas, and we love having her creative energy on the team!
