Heath Ceramics

Over 40 years ago, Edith Heath founded her company and dedicated herself to the craft of ceramics and the skill of the artisan.  As testimony to her  design sense – many of her pieces live in the permanent collections of museums such as the MOMA in New York City.

Heath  products are made in the Sausalito, CA  factory combining a mechanized process with hand craftsmanship to obtain the highest quality product.

For the fortunate in Los Angeles, Heath opened a store on Beverly Blvd in December, 2008. http://themoment.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/12/seeing-things-heath-comes-to-los-angeles/

Faith’s Favorite week of 9/29

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

The artisans of Hancock and Moore use only the finest Grade A woods for unrivaled quality and detail. Using a 21-step process, each piece is hand sanded more than seven times until almost silky to the touch. Clients select from over 50 finishes or request a customized finish. Whether you prefer a wood finish as sleek and reflective as glass, or a time-worn antique, the options are endless with a signature piece by Hancock & Moore. This is furniture that remains beautiful for generations and bears the skilled touch of master craftsmen.  Hancock and Moore is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
