What Happened When We Took Our First Ceramics Class

Chances are, if you’ve dined at Austin hotspots Qui, Uchi, or Emmer & Rye, you’ve already met Keith Kreeger. As a firm believer that thoughtfully made objects and delicious food go hand in hand, Keith is the ceramicist behind the handmade dishware and serving pieces in over two dozen restaurants across the country. His minimalist style and work with soft matte glazes continues to catch the eyes of restauranteurs in this foodie town and beyond. We caught up with Keith at his ceramics studio in East Austin for a tour of his space and a lesson in how to use a pottery wheel. Keith effortlessly demo’ed the art, then we each took a stab at throwing our own bowls. Not surprisingly, we all need a lot more practice, but our beginner status didn’t keep us from having an absolute blast!
