Chelsea Faith Ceramics is a handmade pottery studio based in Nashville, Tennessee. The business creates, in its own words, “unique, hand-thrown pottery adorned with hand-painted designs,” with each piece described as “thoughtfully crafted with attention to form, function, and feel.” The studio is a husband-and-wife collaboration that combines hand-thrown ceramic forms with original hand-painted artwork. Pieces include functional ware such as mugs and cups, all produced in limited, handmade batches.
Products
Chelsea Faith Ceramics offers hand-thrown and hand-built ceramic pieces decorated with hand-painted designs. The collection centers on functional pottery, including mugs, cups, and related vessels, each finished with original artwork. The studio’s designs blend modern and vintage-inspired forms with classic American traditional tattoo aesthetics, creating a cohesive visual style across the collection. Because every item is handmade and individually painted, pieces are produced in small quantities and sold through the studio’s online shop. The website also features a “mom” collection, a section of past work, a journal, and a newsletter for customers who want to follow new releases.
About
The studio was founded by Chelsea Faith, a ceramicist based in Nashville who is described on the website as “a mother, wife and lover of all things from our earth,” with roots in Michigan where she developed a deep connection to nature. Chelsea relocated to Nashville in 2015 seeking a creative outlet and took her first pottery class in January 2018, a few months after her son was born. She describes pottery as having become “a therapeutic ritual” and something she puts “her entire heart and soul into.”
In fall 2019, Chelsea’s husband, AJ Lingerfeldt, a 20-year tattoo artist, began painting on her ceramics. What started as a personal request grew into the collaborative vision behind Chelsea Faith Ceramics, with the couple working as “life partners turned business partners.” Chelsea throws or hand-builds each form while AJ and Chelsea hand-paint the designs. According to the website, the full process takes “about 3-4 weeks from beginning to end,” including throwing, drying, firing, painting, and a final firing.
Location & Contact

Additional Information
The website includes a shop, an about section, a contact page, an FAQ, a policies page, a privacy page, a past-work gallery, and a journal. Because each piece is hand-thrown and hand-painted over a multi-week process, the studio’s output is limited, and the shop and newsletter serve as the main channels for customers to learn about availability. Customers can sign up for a newsletter to receive updates on new pieces and releases, and the past-work gallery documents previous designs and collections. The combination of Chelsea’s hand-built forms and AJ’s tattoo-influenced painting gives the studio a distinct, consistent style that runs across its mugs, cups, and other functional ware.
