Austin, Texas

Graphic, playful ceramics for everyday rituals.

Handmade porcelain and stoneware with bold pattern, clear form, and a graphic sensibility. Some pieces are made for use; all are made to be seen.

Functional works of art, shaped by handbuilding, wheel throwing, Mishima, sgraffito, engobes, and a love of pattern that lands somewhere between modern design, living art, landscape, and daydream.

Collections

Pieces with color, utility, and a little mischief.

Bowls, vessels, platters, wall work, sculptural forms, and small-batch objects made to be used, noticed, and kept close.

Dreamscape/Landscape

Layered terrain, bright suns, and abstract landscape in porcelain — each wall piece a world of its own.

Floral Vessels

Wheel-thrown forms blanketed in handbuilt flowers, leaves, and botanical forms. No two are the same.

About

Modern ceramic pieces from the wild, careful imagination of Angela Newman.

Tigermilk Ceramics grew from a lifelong pull toward clay: high school ceramics classes, years of practice, and the steady honing of handbuilding and wheel throwing techniques.

Inspired by Austin, live music, landscapes, abstract expressionism, street art, and collage. Sustained by an ever-growing circle of brilliant, kind, and inspiring people — friends, family, and the endlessly cool humans I meet along the way.
