How Esti Pots Started

Honestly, I wasn’t trying to start a pottery business.

I’m an esthetician and spa owner, and I’m constantly thinking about how my treatment space looks and feels. I wanted facial bowls that felt intentional, matched the aesthetic of my studio, and still made sense for something we use every single day.

The problem?

I either couldn’t find what I wanted, or I found it and thought, why does this cost a car payment?

So I decided to see if I could make them myself.

I started learning pottery with one simple goal: make beautiful, functional facial bowls for my own treatment room without spending a ridiculous amount of money.

And somewhere between learning how to throw clay, experimenting with shapes, testing glazes, messing some up, and making a few I actually loved… Esti Pots happened.

Made by an Esti, for Estis.

Esti Pots are handmade ceramic facial bowls created specifically with treatment rooms in mind.

They aren’t mass produced, and I’m not trying to make them look like they are.

Every pot is made by hand, so there may be little differences in the shape, glaze, texture, or finish. To me, that’s the best part.

You’re getting something another esthetician actually sat down and made.

This is still a journey.

I’m learning. I’m experimenting. I’m figuring out what works.

You’ll probably see new shapes, colors, glazes, and ideas as I get better at this.

My goal isn’t to become some giant pottery company.

I just want to make really good, really cute things for estheticians without automatically attaching an “industry price” to everything.

If something I originally made for my treatment room ends up looking perfect in yours too?

That’s pretty damn cool.
