About
Astra Ceramics combines the elements of the earth to produce functional and modern ceramics for your home. Thrown on the wheel with stoneware clay, our pots are made for years of re-using + re-filling, building memories, or just small moments of reflection. With each piece made by hand, we hope to bring a sense of human connection to your everyday routine.

Sydney. began her pottery journey while attending the University of Cincinnati. Growing up around the arts and initially drawn towards furthering her skills in painting & photography, she stepped out of her comfort zone during her first ceramics course in 2021. Instantly captivated by the process, she went on to take two more ceramics courses. She creates each piece by hand from start to finish with love.
