Zoe Issacs
Zoe Isaacs is a potter who creates beautiful and functional ceramics. In her home studio nestled in Island Bay, Pōneke Wellington, Zoe shapes a range of native clays into functional pieces that go beyond their basic utility to inspire mindfulness and care in those who use them. Her approach to pottery is a source of vitality and balance, something she cherishes as a daily privilege.
On a manual kick wheel, Zoe gives life to her visions, experimenting tirelessly with new shapes, glazes, and textures. Her craft is a journey of self-expression, with every piece conceived to mirror her personal ethos and extend tangible warmth and utility to her community. Zoe's dedication is to create not just pottery, but handcrafted symbols of connection, each inviting a moment of appreciation in the simple rituals of life.
We serve Kōkako Mahana blend in Zoes cups. We think they are the perfect match.
