About Us
Living in Indiana, sisters Rachel and Sarah have been potting since 2021. “RASSAR Studio” comes from old-world monograms, where the surname initial is in the middle. Then we shoved Rachel and Sarah’s monogram together: RAS SAR. Plus, the domain name hadn’t been taken by anyone. Rachel and Sarah both retired from mentally taxing careers, so the move to physical work is so welcome.
We love the endless choices pottery involves: throwing, hand building, glazes, textures, forms. We like to produce pieces that are unique and beautiful; some are basic needs like bowls, others purely decorative, and still others in-between, like jewelry holders. We also do Christian-inspired pieces, such as the Holy Family, advent and other votive candle sets, and crosses. “Pristine” is for mass manufacturing for big box stores; our goal is heartfelt and a joy to own.
Rachel throws amazing bowls, and throws/slab builds mugs. She also forms squirrels and the Loc Ness Monster.
Sarah loves rolling out slabs and forming them using glass shapes bought for $1.00 at our St. Vincent de Paul resale shop (shameless plug: 100% of all sales buys food for the Food Pantry).
