Clay and Ball Handmade Pottery & Ceramics Studio
Simple, Timeless, Handcrafted Pottery Inspired by New Zealand Nature
Clay and Ball is a ceramics studio nestled in the heart of Wānaka, New Zealand. Each piece is handmade from New Zealand stoneware clay, finished with natural, earthy glazes that reflect the textures, colours, and rhythms of the landscape around us.
Our pottery is designed to be part of your daily life, bringing calm and beauty to everyday rituals. Every mug, bowl, and vase carries its own story, crafted with care, intention, and a love of functional design.
Hello, I’m Phoebe, the potter behind Clay and Ball
I work from my studio in the Mount Aspiring Valley in Wānaka. When I’m not at the wheel, you’ll likely find me at the lake with my three dogs, or experimenting with new glazes and forms.
I began pottery in 2022, and since then, my practice has grown into a collection of pieces that are both useful and beautiful, designed to enhance your home and everyday life.
Handcrafted with Nature in Mind
I make simple, contemporary forms using natural glazes and New Zealand stoneware clay. Each piece is inspired by the environment - the colours, textures, and quiet rhythms of the outdoors.
