How Wanderlust Ceramics Are Made

Every Wanderlust piece is handmade and individually decorated. Here's how an antique engraving ends up on your serving platter:

Source the image

Antique etchings and engravings are sourced in the public domain for figures, scenes, and details with character, odd references and humor.

Silkscreen onto ceramic

The chosen imagery is silkscreened directly onto a handmade unfired ceramic surface, one piece at a time.

Hand-paint

Color washes and accents are added by hand, so each piece develops its own personality.

Glaze and fire

A final glaze seals the image and gives the piece its finished surface.

Because every step is done by hand, no two pieces are identical — even two plates with the same source image come out different. You're buying an original, not a print run.
