Linnan Ye Ceramics
Linnan Ye draws on her architectural background to create functional ceramics that interact with their surroundings. Shaped primarily on the wheel with hand-built elements, the gently curved drinkware and bowls are carefully decorated with earthy glazes and subtle patterns.
A wheel-thrown stoneware cup, crafted by New Maker Linnan Ye. Glaze is applied by hand in multiple layers, creating a marbled surface with subtle variation. Each cup differs slightly in form and finish.
Based in San Francisco, Linnan draws from her architectural background to make objects that interact thoughtfully with their space. Her pieces are rooted in everyday function, designed to bring joy and tactility to ordinary moments.
This item is part of our New Makers programme. In its eighth year, five makers demonstrating excellence in skill, originality and craftsmanship have been chosen by a TOAST panel.

Reviews from Our Customers
Tactile Rituals
Linnan Ye makes experiential ceramics. Her table and drinkware pieces are inherently functional, but the artist takes it a step further, considering the weight of a cup or bowl in the hand and the texture of its surface.
Her experimental approach is seen in organic forms with dappled patterns, achieved by pressing cheesecloth into leather-hard clay and applying slip on top, transferring the fabric’s weave onto the piece. “I like to try things, using different brushes and materials to create interesting textures.”
Linnan sketches loose designs first, then plays with different techniques on the wheel. “I like wheel throwing because it has limits and restraints, which make me think about how to push them. There’s a kind of freedom in that.”
