About the Artist

Isaih Porter is a small-batch studio potter based out of Santa Barbara, in beautiful Southern California.

Honing his craft over the past decade, Isaih produces bespoke ceramics that bring often understated excitement and whimsy into your home.

His work is inspired by the ardent coastline and carries a humble reverence for the craftspeople of yore.

From functional objects like everyday bowls or your daily-driver mug to over-the-top statement pieces like five-gallon pitchers or three-foot tall cookie jars, Isaih creates vessels to be lived amongst and together with.

Isaih currently teaches ceramics at Maker House and at SBCC Schott Campus.

The Sculpd team came out to Isaih’s old home studio (we have since moved) to chat and record some of his process.
