Time for an introduction!

My name is Renee and I’m the hands and heart behind Fig Tree Pots! Everything is made start to finish by me in my small home studio just outside Austin, TX. My relationship with clay started over 20 years ago when I took my first throwing class in high school and has continued to journey with me till about 6 years ago when I switched from teaching to pursuing ceramics full time. My work with clay has stretched me in ways that I would have never imagined and connected me with the loveliest people. Thank you for joining me on this adventure and welcoming pieces into your homes!

There is a always an exhale that happens whenever

There is a always an exhale that happens whenever I sit behind the wheel with a fresh ball of clay. A fresh start of a new journey. Any potter will tell you that ceramics is all about patience and it is almost impossible to rush the process. I’ve learned that each stage takes time- (whether throwing, trimming, bisque fire, glaze, and then the final firing) and each step has a specific and unique beauty all it’s own. The piece goes through multiple transitions before becoming its final, usable, form.
Reflecting on that today as I find myself in another season of transition. (Nothing crazy, just a new season of life.) Finding joy in being still and waiting as this new stage takes form. ❤️
