FROM OUR LA JOLLA HIGH CERAMICS CLASS

From the classroom.
To your home.

We’re Kam, Dexter, and Eric—three La Jolla High students who met in ceramics class. Throwdown is where we share what we make with our school community and the neighborhood around it.

Each of us throws, trims, and glazes our own pieces. They’re fired at La Jolla High under teacher Paul Marcus. It’s why no two shelves ever look quite the same.

How does local delivery work?

Is the pictured piece the one I’ll receive?

The photographs show our actual studio pieces. Each artist uploads their own photos, price, and availability. Check the listing details before ordering.

Can I ask about dimensions or care?
