about jae Lohr

Hi, I’m Jae Lohr—the hands, heart, and soul behind Rooted. I create small-batch, hand-crafted ceramics that are inspired by nature, simplicity, and the quiet beauty found in everyday rituals.

Working with clay has always been more than a creative outlet for me—it’s a meditative process. From the grounding feel of the earth in my hands to the rhythm of the wheel, I find a deep sense of calm and connection in each step. Every piece I make is an invitation to slow down, be present, and find meaning in the ordinary.

Rooted was born from this desire to create with intention and to share that grounding energy with others. Whether it’s a mug that starts your morning or a bowl that gathers friends around the table, my hope is that these pieces bring warmth, mindfulness, and a sense of home into your life.

In addition to creating my own work, I also teach private pottery classes at Cozy Bookwyrm. I offer intimate, two-person sessions that are fully tailored to each student’s skill level—whether you're brand new to clay or looking to fine-tune a specific technique.

Each vessel I create is by hand in Wilmington, NC, using earthy tones, organic textures, and functional designs meant to be loved and used daily.

Thanks for being here—and for supporting handmade.
