THE RECORD · CERAMIC, THE MOST DURABLE ARTIFACT CLASS

For most of human history, the pot is the record. Civilisations are dated by their pottery; clay outlives the maker, the meal, the house, the language.

Nancy Lucia trained in anthropology — Latin American archaeology — before she trained at the wheel. She makes tomorrow’s artifacts — thrown in Houston, one at a time, documented the way a museum documents a find.

WHEEL-THROWN · 2026
THE SAME GESTURE, 8,000 YEARS OLD

“I studied how people who are gone are known by what they made. Then I went and made things.”

Every piece leaves the studio catalogued — thrown, glazed, fired and recorded. What you drink from tomorrow is what someone, eventually, will find.
