OUR PROCESS
At Sofia Ceramics, every piece begins as a simple lump of clay, shaped by skilled hands and guided by intention. Based in South London, our studio is where tradition meets innovation and where we form, fire, and ship our dinnerware to kitchens and tables around the world.
Each design has its own unique production journey. Using four key techniques throwing, hand-building, jiggering, and pressing, we craft each piece by hand, ensuring it carries the distinctive character of its maker. Our studio is home to four kilns, and every day begins with the quiet thrill of discovering the finished pieces we loaded the day before.
Functionality is at our core. We create dinnerware that is beautiful, durable, and built to last strong enough for busy kitchens, commercial dishwashers, and everyday life. Every clay and glaze is tested for resilience without compromising style.
From raw clay to finished piece, our process transforms care and passion into timeless ceramics, designed to bring lasting beauty, meaning, and a touch of delight to your table.
WHAT SETS US APART?
At Sofia Ceramics, it’s more than clay and glaze, it’s the care, intention, and human touch behind every piece.
We’re a family-run studio where tradition meets creativity: each plate, bowl, and cup is shaped by hand, tested for durability, and made to carry stories, rituals, and memories for years to come.
Our small, close-knit team brings a blend of artistry, skill, and curiosity to every creation, from designing functional dinnerware for chefs to crafting pieces that make everyday meals feel special.
We combine old-world techniques with a modern approach, using four kilns, thoughtful glazing, and meticulous finishing to ensure each item is as resilient as it is beautiful.
Because at the heart of what we do is this: we don’t just make ceramics, we create objects meant to be loved, used, and treasured, turning everyday moments into lasting memories.
