Artfully Elegant — Handmade Jewelry & Handcrafted Gifts

Zpots and Vnoelle

Each highly textured, individualized ceramic bowl or ceramic cup created at Zpots and Vnoelle Studio begins with a beautiful chocolate clay body. Artists Noelle Van Hendrick and Eric Hendrick hand-throw each piece, decorate it with slip to create a textured one-of-a-kind surface, and employ wax resist methods to create deep varied surfaces. The artists view each piece as a unique individual that is part of a family. The glaze colors of earth, forest, and water remain consistent, but the spontaneous line drawings that decorate each piece will vary.

To the artists of Zpots and Vnoelle a mission of world peace begins in home and heart. The studio’s goal is working toward a renewable future, and with this in mind, the electric kilns in the Zpots and Vnoelle Studio are powered by Vermont Cow Power, with electricity generated by the surrounding Vermont farms.

“The “art” of our work is not the work itself…the experiences and moments cultivated around the pieces…the genuine feeling that happens when you are with them…give them…and receive them…that is the art…” – Vnoelle
