August is Black Business Month, a time to spotlight Black entrepreneurs and their businesses and creations.
Regarding the interior design and home decor space, ceramics always serve as a creative touch and element for homes. In addition to adding texture, substance, and nuance to your glassware, dishes collection, or planters, ceramics are widely known for adding pops of personality, character, and depth to any home collection. Also, these Black creatives have the pottery game on lock, from decorative tea plates to ceramic shot glasses.
See below some of our favorite Black creatives, from Ekua Ceramics to Karen Jai Home and their creations.
