June Okafor learned to throw at a community studio in 2015 and rented a corner of a shared kiln for four years before Fennel Row opened on Church Street in 2019. The shop is one room: the wheel and the wedging table at the back, a shelf of finished work at the front, and the kiln in a lean-to behind. Ten pieces are made here, over and over, because ten is the number one person can keep on the shelf.
Three rules every piece is made by
01
A short list
Ten pieces, all the time, all in stock. Making the same shapes for years is how they got good.
02
Made here, by one person
Every piece on the shelf passed through the same two hands, from the bag of clay to the box.
03
Priced to be used
Stoneware for the everyday table, not the cabinet. Prices are on every piece and never change at checkout.
The shop
The shop is the front room of a converted print shop, with the wheel at the back where the presses used to stand. Shop days the door is open; wheel days it is not, but a knock usually works.
June Okafor throws, glazes, fires and packs every piece. Shop hours are for browsing; the wheel runs Monday to Wednesday behind a closed door. Sample registration line. Put your business registration or sales tax number here if your state asks for one.
