Katelynn Ridge is the maker behind Lou's Ceramics, a wheel-thrown pottery practice run out of a shared studio space in Bushwick, Brooklyn. She first experimented with ceramics in 2011 and returned to the craft more seriously in the summer of 2024, working primarily on the wheel to produce functional, food-safe handmade pieces. Ridge works as an independent, part-time maker, noting that custom orders can take roughly six weeks given her production pace. Her practice emphasizes handcrafted quality and sustainability, including offering local pickup for nearby customers rather than shipping every order.
