Our Story

Who We Are

Heath Ceramics is one of the few remaining mid-century American potteries still in existence today. We have been making tableware and tile for over a half-century right here in our Sausalito, California factory. Our crew of 40 skilled craftsmen (many having been here for 20+ years) still makes every product on the premises, often utilizing the methods and techniques developed by Edith throughout her life. The newest addition to the heath story - beginning december 2008, we will have a presence in Los angeles with a retail space, design studio & art gallery.

Robin and Cathy

In 2003, husband and wife team, Robin Petravic and Catherine Bailey purchased Heath Ceramics. Their shared mission was to revitalize the company by placing a strong emphasis on design, while preserving Edith Heath’s handcrafted techniques and design legacy. Today, classic designs, as well as new ones are made with the highest level of craftsmanship - ensuring the lasting quality and aesthetic of each of our products.

In December 2008, we'll open the doors to our newest addition - Heath Los Angeles Studio & Store. Our dream of operating a custom design studio for small cutom works within a retail space will come true with the help of potter Adam Silverman. More information here
