Modern Heirlooms
Modern Heirlooms with Everyday Charm
Born the daughter of a painter and an organic dairy farmer, Molly was raised to be creatively industrious. Using her imagination and love of drawing, Molly makes everything from her well known idiosyncratic ceramics to quirky pen-and-ink drawings. Her craft is finely honed, her designs whimsically literal and pop-culturally on-point.
Working from her home studio, Molly began making her living as a full-time studio potter in 2008. Her formal education in ceramics and drawing resulted in the development of her signature style. Making contemporary ceramics inspired by history, Molly’s career as a studio potter quickly garnered a loyal following. Molly’s designs have expanded beyond tableware to a wide range of lifestyle products, and she is actively building more lifestyle collections of home goods to bring her modern yet traditional designs to the contemporary home.

Grounded in studio pottery tradition The studio pottery tradition is grounded in the handmade. Molly’s forms and surfaces for her designs come from her many hours at the potter’s wheel and with paint and brush. Molly works hard to design both surface both surface designs and prototypes for forms using the same techniques she would use to make a piece by hand. Many of Molly’s designs are inspired by her time as an apprentice to a studio potter in the British tradition. Molly inherited a timeless sense of shape and surface design from her mentors with a strong English aesthetic sensibility. All of Molly’s designs reflect the integrity of the handmade and strive to function as beautiful and useful everyday products that are both familiar and new.
Molly’s roots as a studio potter are reflected in her design career as well as in her fine art career with work represented in major art collections and museums all over the world. Molly’s authenticity as an artist, a designer, and most recently as an author and illustrator bring a depth and richness to her collaborations. 4

Editorial Reviews
“Looking at the family china, full of memory and meaning to her personally, she was driven back to the museums where she first studied as a young artist. Her research led to a new book, A Passion for China. And in the process she learned much about the subtle but powerful influence homeware has on us all - including what we search for to replace pieces that are lost or broken.”
- The Guardian (UK)
“Artist and ceramicist Molly Hatch makes whimsical, charming, yet undeniably special pottery... In her new, beautifully illustrated book, A Passion for China: A Little Book About the Objects We Eat From, Live with and Love, she explores the roots of her own fascination with fine ceramics (mainly objects in her grandmother’s house) as well as the more immediate A Passion For China September Publishing, Oct. 2017
enjoyment that well-used porcelain can present (many of her grandmother’s things were chipped from being used and not cabineted away - imbuing each piece with loving, happy memories).”
- The Globe and Mail (Canada) 22
Molly Hatch’s aesthetic is inspired by her love of history. All of Molly’s designs reintroduce traditional historic patterns to the contemporary home with exciting new palettes and a reflection of the handmade. This love of history and the contemporary makes for instant heirlooms-- designs that fit into homes that range from modern to traditional. Aiming to provide the consumer with product that is functional on a daily basis, special, beautiful and collectible, Molly is excited to work with new brands on collaborations in multiple categories.
