Above: In demand by Bay Area restaurateurs, Sarah Kersten of Berkeley specializes in fermentation jars–see our post Fermentation Fever–and has just added enormously useful covered bowls to her repertoire.
Above: At Pope Valley Pottery in the Napa Valley, ceramic artist Kelly P. Farley makes serving trays, footed bowls, and other white wares that are a Remodelista staple.
Above: San Francisco artist Len Carella is known for his lidded jars and other sculptural designs detailed with leather pulls.
Above: Makers of porcelain inlaid stoneware, hanging air plant pots, and other exotica, Knotwork LA is a collaboration between industrial designer Linda Hsiao and architect Kagan Taylor. It all began as a weekend outlet for exploring “ideas that came to us in the middle of the night.”
Above: At her Petaluma pottery, Jessica Wertz divides her time between creating modern-rustic kitchen designs and porcelain jewelry. Shown here, her matte-white Cut-Out Utensil Jar with a clear glossy interior glaze.
Above: Sculptor and artist Richard Carter is another Remodelista Market regular. We’re big fans of his contemporary farmhouse designs. Take a tour of his house and studio in the hills above Napa Valley here.
