After learning how to throw in fourth grade, designer Lisa Jones spent a lifetime avoiding pottery. From graphic design to marketing to video installation, Jones steered clear from life in craft until her longing to work with her hands took her full-circle, back to her days as a 9-year-old ceramicist.

With an aversion to fast-paced and mass-produced goods, Lisa formed Pigeon Toe with a vision to design uniquely beautiful objects that incorporate a touch of history in every piece. The sort of history that can be valued, but not bought. Treasured, but not replicated.

Now in Pigeon Toeʼs third year of existence, Lisa recently introduced a new collection of treasured wares produced by local artisans. With a focus on craft, handmade and homespun goods, each Pigeon Toe piece represents a story woven with rich heritage.

Pigeon Toe is a creative evolution. Much like each design developed in Portland, Lisa has lovingly curated a sustainable, aware collection harking back to an era where artisans not only create, but inspire.
