Kilned with Kindness celebrates the beauty and individuality of handmade pottery, crafted with care by Summer Brendlinger in her Southern Oregon studio. The pottery emphasizes quality and unique artistry over mass production, blending traditional techniques with creative expression.

The product line includes a diverse array of items such as functional tableware like ceramic spoons and charcuterie boards, whimsical plant decorations such as clay mushroom stakes, and elegant home decor pieces like candlestick holders and folk art wall decorations. Each piece is designed to combine beauty with practicality, featuring distinctive glazes and designs that make them both functional and artistic.

Summer's philosophy is centered on enriching everyday life through her pottery creations, aiming to bring joy and a handmade touch of artistry into people's homes. Her journey began in 1994 with a high school ceramics class and continued through University. After receiving her undergraduate degree, she went on to gain her Masters in Teaching. During her career as an educator, Summer continued to cultivate her passion for ceramics.  She now supports young children part time in an educational setting while also continuing her commitment to ceramics, running her small pottery business and teaching ceramic workshops at Talent Maker City, in Talent, Oregon.

"I believe that handmade pottery goes beyond its practical use; it becomes a reflection of how you choose to live life, with mindful purpose."
Enjoy,
Summer
