Having worked with clay since 1999, Gina DeSantis founded her namesake ceramics brand in 2013. She and her team now operate out of an old automobile factory in Lakewood, Ohio, where they focus on crafting functional heirloom pieces for table and home. Each piece is designed and thrown by Gina, while her studio team is hands-on with trimming, glazing pots, firing work, and handling mugs.
