About Us
Flint and Marble is a ceramics studio in Beacon, New York, creating handcrafted nerikomi pieces from colored clay
Why I started Flint and Marble
For years, I worked in corporate HR, spending most of my days behind a computer.
Ceramics became a way to reconnect with making something by hand.
After discovering nerikomi at the Icheon Ceramics Festival in South Korea, I was captivated by how patterns could be created from colored clay rather than painted with glaze.
Today, I create each piece in my Beacon studio with the hope of bringing a little more color to our everyday rituals.
See how each piece comes to life.
My Journey with Flint and Marble
April 2025
I visited the Icheon Ceramics Festival in South Korea and discovered nerikomi for the first time.
It completely changed how I thought about ceramics.
Summer 2025
I spent months experimenting with Mason stains and colored clay.
There were plenty of failures, but every batch taught me something new.
Jan 2026
I left my career in corporate HR to pursue ceramics full time.
It was one of the best (and scariest) decisions I've ever made.
Spring 2026
I partnered with local studios to teach nerikomi workshops.
More than 150 students have joined me at the table so far!
July 2026
I launched Flint and Marble online and beginning to expand beyond tableware into new home objects.
I'm excited to see where this journey leads!
Meet David
Designer & Maker
Earlier this year, I left my career in corporate HR to pursue ceramics full time. Most people thought it was a risky decision.
But after meeting artists and potters in South Korea, I couldn't stop thinking about a slower, more intentional way of making. I knew I had to give it a try.
Today, every piece is made by hand with the hope of bringing a little more color to everyday rituals.
