about us

Our story started in 2011, in a high school ceramics class. Like others before him, James thought it would be clever to hide a bong inside one of his projects. Although his attempts were always wasted, his passion for ceramics concieved and eventually built Ceramic Smokeware. 

In their early days, there were no tools, tutorials, or advice to help them get started, and so they spent the next year and a half teaching themselves the art of ceramic pipe making. With 7 years of experience, James and Colibri are now teaching others how to make their own pieces.
