this is the official
work in progresswebsite for Red Panda Pottery (@redpandapots on Instagram!)
If you’ve come here from my personal website/blog, you’ve already gotten a little excerpt about who I am. But to those of you who are new, hi! It’s nice to meet you! I’m Gabrielle and I’m the hands behind Red Panda Pottery, a small ceramics business born in Berkeley, CA. In Spring 2023, I had the opportunity to take a class at the Berkeley Art Studio on campus where, after experimenting and exploring my style, I realised I wanted to get serious with production pottery begin selling. Although my pieces are definitely neat and very clean, I didn’t want the playful accent of handmade work to disappear. Hence, I created Red Panda Pottery, a brand that not only embraces the finger ripples from pulling up walls and the smear of clay while blending out handles, but also focuses on the clean angles, smooth surfaces, and earthy glazes.
As a hobbyist, I’m still experimenting with forms and shapes to find ones that really speak to me. **But I can promise this: you’ll be excited to fill up one of my mugs for your morning coffee, or serve dinner on one of my plates. My mission is to make art that you will love and want to use everyday :)
p.s: Red Panda Pottery was also named after a stuffed red panda plushie named Peanut whom I very much love <3

I’m in the process of finding and adjusting new glazes for the Berkeley Art Studio. Feel free to peruse the glaze recipes directory to see what I’ve collected and any updates I have on test tiles!
I’ve given myself the task of photographing and documenting every piece I’ve made, along with surface design details for both your information and mine :)
