ekua ceramics

Founded in 2018 by Belgian-raised, Los Angeles-based ceramicist Sara Ekua Todd, Ekua Ceramics produces functional clayware that balances minimalist forms with vibrant, expressive color. Drawing from her multi-ethnic upbringing—Belgian, German, and Ghanaian—Todd infuses her work with a distinct reverence for shape and surface. The brand’s core offerings include hand-thrown drinkware, dinnerware, and sculptural home objects, such as the signature scalloped-handle mugs and Ikebana vessels. Operating out of Long Beach, California, Ekua Ceramics emphasizes handmade craftsmanship, ensuring that each piece retains a sense of individuality and soul. The studio’s aesthetic is characterized by clean lines, tactile unglazed exteriors, and juicy, contrasting interior glazes.
