In Williamsburg, Brooklyn, DeLong Ceramics makes hand-crafted ceramic art and gift pieces alongside printed collage artwork, all designed by Denise DeLong and her family.

The studio has fabricated and installed major murals for New York City public schools and LaGuardia Airport, including a 21-by-21-foot installation made with more than 1,500 subway tiles.LONG ISLAND CITY, NY
Suji CeramicsFrom a New York studio, Suji Ceramics turns a love of houseplants and pottery into handmade ceramic planters, jewelry, and small home goods. Ceramicist Suji began making her own planters after running out of distinctive homes for a collection that grew to more than 130 plants, and she still designs pieces around the beauty of the plants they hold. Every product is made from start to finish by Suji in New York, so each one carries the small variations of handwork and clay.
