• Made With Care, Meant to Last

    At Donovan Ceramics, we believe that good design should feel as natural as it is beautiful.
    ⠀
    We're a father and son team, working together to craft pottery and tile with integrity and care.
    ⠀
    We take our time with every piece, because we believe that function and beauty go hand in hand in the things we use every day.
    ⠀
    We’re proud to be part of a creative community that values people, place, and process. Whether our work finds its way into a restaurant or home, our goal is simple: to make work that serves well, wears well, and feels right in your space.
