Kare Ceramics

Manufacturing hand-thrown pottery requires space, kilns, and steady hands—all of which Kare Ceramics brings together in Gowanus. This Brooklyn studio specializes in small-batch ceramic production, supplying local shops and designers with everything from mugs to custom tiles. The work happens behind the scenes, but the results often surface in neighborhood cafes and boutiques, where the distinctive glazes catch the eye.

You’ll find their workshop at 119 8th St Ste 205, Brooklyn, NY 11215, tucked above the street-level hum of the industrial stretch near Third Avenue. The area has long been a magnet for makers, with warehouses repurposed into studios and light manufacturing spaces. While Kare Ceramics doesn’t operate a public storefront, their pieces occasionally appear in local markets or pop-ups, offering a glimpse of what goes on upstairs.
