About Us

Welcome to Sunshine Ln.

Sunshine Ln. Pottery is a small, female-owned studio in Orlando, FL. I make organic, functional ceramics, pieces that are meant to be held, reached for, and lived with.

I'm Casey Howse, I have a BFA in Ceramics from Clemson University. My passion comes from a drive to be connected to the earth, the repetition of throwing, the quiet rhythm of making something with your hands. It's the kind of work that grounds me instead of rushing me, and I hope that comes through in the pieces themselves.

The studio is named after my dogs, Sunny and Layne. It's less about them directly and more about the feeling they give me — comfort, presence, familiarity. That feeling is at the center of everything I make.

I release work in small, limited series. I also take on custom commissions. If you have something in mind, reach out. I'd love to hear about it.

Meet Sunshine (Sunny)

Hi, I’m Sunny.
I’m exactly what my name suggests — gentle, warm, and always happy to be here.

I love everyone I meet, especially my sister, Layne. I believe everything is better when we’re together — long walks, quiet afternoons, and days spent in the studio while pottery slowly takes shape.

My mom says I’m the nicest creature she’s ever met. I think she might be right.

Meet Ln. (Layne)

Hi, I’m Layne.
I’m sweet, occasionally sassy, and a firm believer in personal space.

I love people more than dogs, snacks more than almost anything, and snuggles — but only when the timing feels right. I like things calm, familiar, and close.

Sunny pretends not to notice how much I worry when she’s gone. I pretend not to either.

Artist's Statement

My work is an exploration of the space where functional pottery meets the tactile unpredictability of nature. While I design my pieces to be used daily, I am most interested in how a form feels in the hand. I find myself constantly drawn to organic textures, the kind that make you stop and wonder if the surface feels the way it looks. For me, a piece is successful when it moves someone needs to reach out and touch it.

There is a quiet, grounding power in working with clay. It’s a process of taking raw earth and turning it into something of value and meaning. I enjoy the chemistry of the studio, especially the way glazes react in the kiln to create surfaces that feel weathered or grown rather than manufactured.

Ultimately, I want to create objects that bring a sense of the outdoors and the organic feel of nature into the rituals of the home. I make pottery for the moments when we slow down, a morning coffee or a shared meal, aiming to make those experiences feel a little more connected to the earth.
