Food & Wine + Private Lessons

Pigeon Toe has a small feature in December’s copy of Food & Wine magazine. Yes, we do indeed offer private wheel-throwing lessons. We won’t be accepting new students until the new year, but if you’re interested please send us an email and we’ll put you on our wait list.  More information on classes can be found here.

Clive Coffee

Our newest custom project is coffee mugs for local roaster Clive Coffee. Contained within that fabulously understated packaging is some very delicious hand-roasted beans, and they needed an equally fabulous hand-crafted mug to match. You can purchase the mugs (2 color choices!) here, and don’t forget to pick up a bag or two while you’re at it – our studio varietal of choice is the Papua New Guinea.

In the meantime, watch this great little video Clive put together documenting the process:

space_pigeon_toe-7017Photographer and blogger Leah Verwey recently visited us to document our creative space for her aptly named new blog SPACE — sneak a peak inside our studio here and check out the other creative Portland forces she’s recently documented while you’re there. I love the concept of her blog and cannot wait to glimpse inside more studios and workshops in the coming months.
