Alex Marshall Studios

There’s something personal about Alex Marshall Studios’ ceramics. Perhaps it's the unique variations in the glaze or the way the pieces fit perfectly in the hand. Maybe it’s the minimal asymmetrical forms, but there exists an intimate comfort that accompanies the designs, making life a little more luxurious.

Alex Marshall Studios started in 2000 when Alex made her hand-formed plates, bowls, platters and vases as gifts for friends and family. Word of mouth spread and soon Alex’s original shapes and trademark glazes were in demand. Alex Marshall Studios was born. In 2003 Alex’s husband, Andrew Barry, joined her studio and with his project management background they were able to combine their skill sets to grow the studio. A line of lamps soon followed, their first collaborative effort. In 2005 Alex Marshall Studios moved to an olive orchard in Corning, California designing and manufacturing from a studio on their property. In 2009 Alex Marshall Studios introduced personalized home décor for baby & kids’ including dish sets, coin banks, picture frames and lighting. In 2014 the design duo installed an 8 KW solar array on their studio roof to offset 40% of their electrical usage. In 2018 Alex Marshall Studios expanded to a 4000 square foot factory in Chico, CA.
