Della Voss
Wood-fired stoneware with the ash left where it landed. No two glazes alike, and that's the point.

Objects made
to be kept.
A small, opinionated boutique of ceramics, textiles, and woodcraft — sourced one workshop at a time from the makers of coastal Maine.
We carry few things, and we carry them well. Everything on our shelves is made by hand, built to last, and chosen because we'd live with it ourselves.

We don't print maker bios on a tag and call it a story. We've sat in their studios. Here are three we'd send you to first.
Tomas Renn
Undyed wool from a flock he can name, woven on a barn loom older than the state highway.
A flock of fortyJune Halloran
Spoons, boards, and stools coaxed from storm-fallen ash and cherry. Joinery you'll never see fail.
Salvaged timber only

Few things,
Few things,
chosen well.
A rotating shelf of roughly forty pieces. When something sells, it's often the last of its kind — we don't reorder what can't be remade.

03 — Our Standards
We'd rather carry one honest object than a hundred easy ones.
i.
Made by a person we've met
If we can't name the maker and tell you where they work, it doesn't make the shelf. No anonymous wholesale.
ii.
Built to outlast us
We choose materials and joinery that age into something better. Repairable beats replaceable, every time.
iii.
Priced for the work
Our makers set their price; we don't squeeze it. What you pay reflects real hours and a fair living wage.
iv.
Quiet by design
No fast trends, no seasonal churn. The collection moves slowly because good things take the time they take.
04 — The Shop
Find us on
Find us on
the waterfront.
A single sunlit room on Wharf Street, two blocks from the ferry terminal. Come slowly. Stay a while.
It started with a borrowed van and forty pounds of unsold pottery.
In 2016 we drove the midcoast for a summer, buying what we loved out of barns, garages, and kitchen tables. By autumn we had a van full of work too good to leave in a shed — and nowhere to put it. So we signed a lease on Wharf Street.
Eight years on, Field & Forge is still the same idea: a room where the work of Maine's quiet makers gets the light, the space, and the attention it deserves. We know every name on every tag. Ask us anything.
