Who we are

Key & Kiln was born out of pure obsession, late nights in the garage studio, and a whole lot of clay-covered chaos. Founded by Blake Keys and fuelled by a love for pottery, our studio is a space where vision and craftsmanship come together to create something truly special.

From mugs & bowls to stoneware collaborations and commissioned work, each piece reflects our commitment to quality, artistry, and a personal touch. Rooted in the belief that pottery connects people to the beauty of everyday moments, we take pride in making functional art that’s made right here in North Idaho.

Key & Kiln is a an evolving story and a celebration of the art of handmade ceramics. Welcome to our world!
