Hey there! I’m Jordan Blankenship, the maker behind JordanBCeramics. You’ll usually find me in the studio with clay on my hands and coffee close by, juggling kiln firings, teaching, and making work meant to be used every day.

​

I’m based in Estero, Florida, where I create fully handmade functional pottery for the home. Every piece is wheel thrown and finished with care, focusing on balance, comfort, and how it fits into daily routines from your morning coffee to meals shared around the table.

 

My goal is simple: to make thoughtful, well crafted pieces that feel good in your hands and bring a little joy to the everyday moments we often rush through.
