Uzumati Ceramics exists to explore the connection between people and wild places through handcrafted stoneware collections inspired by rugged landscapes and storied travels.

Uzumati, a Miwok word for ‘bear,’ was once thought to have been the root of the name Yosemite. As a climber and lifelong pursuant of the outdoors, Jaclyn embodies her hard-earned experiences in each piece she creates. Every small-batch collection that leaves her studio is hand thrown, hand carved, and hand glazed. A one-woman-ran business taking pride in creating durable goods you’ll bring into your home and use every day.
