Mud and Stone Studios
THE STUDIO OF CERAMIC ARTIST KARMA TAYLOR AND STONE ARTIST SCOTT TAYLOR.
We make quiet things that hold meaning, crafted slowly to connect people to what matters. We believe the things we live with and wear should be more than beautiful. They should bring joy and connect us to ourselves and the world around us.
We create small-batch collections of handcrafted ceramics and contemporary stone jewellery. Minimal and refined, each piece is made by hand with intention. Every form invites pause and reflection, grounding us in the moments that matter.
Born of mud and stone.
Elemental by design.
