Henry Street Studio is a line of handmade ceramics founded in 2011 in Brooklyn by mother-daughter team Loren and Aliza Simons. 

Both of us came to ceramics early: Loren spent her college days making ceramics before becoming a prop stylist, while Aliza first started exploring clay in grade school.. But it wasn’t until Aliza convinced Loren to get back into the pottery studio that we discovered a shared visual language.

In 2017, we were joined by Josh Simons, Aliza’s father and Loren’s husband, a sculptor and a painter, who makes larger scale vases and sculptures.

We make pieces in small batches with custom formulated glazes. Every object has its own personal details -- the way the glaze breaks on the lip of a bowl, or the slightly uneven edge of a plate. Discovering the subtleties in each piece keeps the work fresh and exciting each time we unload a kiln.

Our name comes from our small house in Sag Harbor, New York where we spent many happy summers making pots and clay sculptures.
