Dor & Tan / Based in Cornwall / Ceramic design studio nestled on the North Cornish coast, in the idyllic St. Ives / Dor & Tan have a desire to break away from the disposability of modern life and to create objects with a more personal connection / Their products are to become cherished memories, that favourite cup you always pick when boiling the kettle or the soup bowl you reach for after being caught in the rain / Bringing handcrafted items to people, which have a unique soft character that cannot be created any other way than by the hand of a maker / The process of making is slow and thoughtful, taking care to choose the proper way over the easier way / Each product is thrown by hand from clay sourced locally and fired using green energy / These traditional processes make every piece unique, no two objects will be identical, sisters not twins / When designing new items, Dor & Tan first bring them into their own homes, using them in their daily rituals / Each piece is used and tested to see how tactile and functional it is, and then taken to the studio to refine and develop into what eventually makes it onto their store / Dorandtan.com
