our story

 

Story

This began with a question.

Why is so much of what we buy for our homes so forgettable?

Not ugly, exactly. Just… anonymous. Objects that fill a shelf but never start a conversation. Art that matches the sofa. Books that look good closed and stay closed.

We wanted something different. Not more things. More meaning.

The Idea

Pottery Pig & Print was founded as a working studio-gallery with a single purpose: to commission, showcase, and publish work with a real point of view.

We realised that the most exciting objects come from collaboration—not from a single maker working in isolation, and not from a factory. They come from a curator who sees how an illustrator's line might translate to a glaze. How a potter's touch might inform a printed page. How a book and a bowl might belong to the same world.

So we built a space where that happens.

The Name

It is deliberately unusual. A little strange. That is the point.

Pottery. Print. And a small, memorable creature that refuses to take itself too seriously. We love craft. We love beautiful things. But we also believe that the best work has a sense of humour about itself.

The name is a promise: we will never be precious. We will never be boring.

The Work

We commission artists to create new studio work exclusively for us. We showcase curated pieces from collaborators we admire. And we publish art books—coffee table books, gift books, one-of-a-kind editions—that exist as objects of beauty in their own right.

Every collection has a name, a thesis, and a story. Every piece belongs to something larger.

We release limited editions because we believe scarcity respects the work. We sell directly because we believe the relationship between artist and collector should be intimate, not intermediated.

The Belief

At the centre of everything is a simple conviction:

Curation is not exclusion. It is an act of care.

Choosing one thing over another is not about saying no to an artist. It is about saying yes to a vision. A collection is a statement. A gallery is a voice. And a voice worth hearing does not try to speak for everyone.

We speak for the work we love. We hope you love it too.
