About Buzz

I'm Amanda Buzard, aka Buzz. I am a ceramicist and designer based in San Francisco.

My functional ceramic pieces are thoughtful and durable enough for everyday use. I use my prototypes at home daily—refining pieces through constant use allows me to perfect sizing, geometry, and glaze techniques. Clay bodies and glazes are chosen for how they complement one another, which often lets the natural clay shine.

My goal is to create practical objects that serve as reminders to stop and think about our everyday objects. Where did they come from? How were they made?
