OYU makes ceramic objects for daily rituals.

Cups, bowls, teapots, and vessels meant to be used - not displayed.

Each piece is made individually on the wheel.
Not because uniqueness is a value,
but because repetition without care removes meaning.

Forms are refined through repeated use.
Glazes are tested through firing, failure and adjustment.

Nothing is rushed.
Nothing is produced in excess.

OYU focuses on function first.
How a cup fits the hand.
How a teapot pours.
How an object holds heat, weight and time.

Subtle variations in form and surface are part of the process.
They are not corrected or reproduced.
They remain as evidence of how the object was made.

Collections are released in small batches and change over time.
Once a piece is gone, it is not remade.

The role of the studio is simple:
to decide carefully,
to reject often,
and to release only what can stand on its own.

OYU believes that good objects should disappear into daily life.
They should support routines, not interrupt them.

Morning.
Evening.
Moments in between.

OYU is a quiet practice.

That is all.
