3 Local Artisan Made Brands That Bring Laguna Beach To Your Home
Available online and in-store, our curated home goods are perfect gifts or Laguna souvenirs that promise quality and personality.
1. The Desert Kiln | Ceramic ware, inspired by the dessert brought to life by the water.
We love having The Desert Kiln in our coveted collection of home goods due to the unique styles, time, quality, and love each piece is created with. We are also extremely happy to support another female-owned and led business. From Vanessa, the owner and founder of The Desert Kiln;
“Where I get my inspiration: The reason why my business is called "The Desert Kiln" is way less complex than people may think. I just really like the desert. When I first started ceramics, I loved painting cacti. I love the desert and the beautiful plants and wildlife it can sustain. It's beautiful that nature can provide life even in the most extreme conditions. I honestly respect desert landscapes out of any on earth for this unique reason.
Illustrations of nature in any form inspire me the most. If I'm not being inspired by nature, I get inspired by making work that empowers others. That's why I love making female-inspired art as well.
Why I care about my process: I make detailed, small-batch work. I make small batches at my own pace because I like to keep my work enjoyable for me. I hand make every single piece on my pottery wheel, hand paint every single design, and take my time. I care about putting my touch into every piece I make. I try to make pieces that turn everyday activities into mindful and special moments. I think that owning a piece of pottery that was made with hours of handmade love is something people appreciate.”
