In our ceramic practice, defined by craftsmanship, ‘The Devil’s in the Details’ hits close to home. Small details such as an eyebrow angle, handle placement and glaze application can make or break a piece and completely transform a creature’s personality. 

It's often the small details that can spark joy, or cause your ship to dash in ruin upon the rocks ; )

The Devil’s in the Details — not just a warning, but a reminder that true resilience is forged in the fine print of our struggles. It’s in the overlooked moments, the tiny cracks in our plans, where adversity tests us most. Persistence isn’t about grand gestures—it’s about how we respond when things go wrong, adjusting, and pressing on.

Humans have been innovating, creating and building with their hands since the beginning of time. We believe in the importance of maintaining this tactile creative way of life in an increasingly technological society.

Lisa Tantillo & Zack Callaghan are a team of collaborative ceramicists based in Atlanta, GA. Both attended the University of Georgia School of Art and tour the National Fine Art circuit full time selling their handmade creations. Their monster themed functional ware symbolizes different aspects of the human psyche and seek to shine a comical light upon the inevitable demons all people face in the journey of life. Their inspiration stems from world folklore spanning from Norse mythology and Japanese Yokai tales to the Epic of Gilgamesh. The pair work in porcelain, throwing forms on the wheel, making molds and hand sculpting faces on each piece, mixing their own glazes and firing cone 6 oxidation and Raku.
