Handmade Ceramics and Home Decor
Every piece is hand-built in my high desert studio using natural clays and earthy glazes. From planters and vases to lighting and wall hangings, my ceramics are made to live with—and to last.

Meet the Artist
Hi! I’m Kristi Kautz—a ceramics artist living in the beautiful Mojave Desert, just outside Joshua Tree, CA.
I’m a big plant lover (some might say obsessed), and I find joy in filling my home and studio with greenery.
That love for nature spills over into my work—whether it’s planters, vases, wall hangings, or air plant holders, I create pieces that help bring the outdoors in. Each vessel is handcrafted with care, inspired by organic forms, natural textures, and the wild beauty of the desert.
