AG Studio is the online shop of Alissa Goss Ceramics, a handmade pottery and ceramics studio based in Nashville, Tennessee. The studio produces functional tableware and decorative pieces, describing its work as “functional ceramics” with “considered designs.” The shop centers on the idea of “objects that belong together,” which the artist frames as “not matching sets, just pieces that make sense in each other’s company.” Products are made by hand using both wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques, with each piece described as having “been touched by my hands dozens of times.”
Products
The studio offers a range of functional and decorative ceramics, including:
- Tumblers, bottles, and trays
- Serving bowls, mugs, bowls, and plates
- Ceramic wall hooks with leather straps and brass accents, listed at $85 each
- The “In Company” collection, organized around three color-based releases described as Field and Stone, Coriander and Oatmeal, and Pale Pinks and Honey
Customers can order individual four-piece place settings or single pieces. Some items feature 22K gold luster, which requires hand-washing and is not microwave safe. The studio also lists a Trade and Wholesale option for buyers.
Materials and finishing are described in first-party terms: the work uses “durable ceramic stoneware” and “smooth clays and satin glazes in neutral tones,” finished with a “satin matte glaze.” Pieces are stated to be food-safe, non-toxic, eco-friendly, and dishwasher safe unless otherwise noted. The site notes that flatware marks can be removed with a damp sponge and Bar Keepers Friend.
About
Alissa Goss holds a BFA in Ceramics from California College of the Arts, completed in 2009. She began working with ceramics in high school and later studied at Santa Monica College in California before earning her degree, training with several established ceramic artists during her time at CCA. She describes her approach as “rooted in the pursuit of excellence in craft with effortless beauty.”
The production process is described as “a slow and cyclical process of making, drying, firing, glazing.” The artist builds custom tools for the studio, including a jigger arm used for dinner plates, and uses custom plaster molds to help prevent warping. For the “In Company” collection, she noted that she “skipped the markets this season” in order to develop the line.
