TWO ARTISTS + A FAMILY + A SMALL BUSINESS
We are Indikoi.
Our story began in the late nineties, two college kids sitting next to each other in a drawing class. Her drawings were pretty good, his not so much. He tried to convince her to "borrow" a drawing, then to go to lunch, and that's how it all started.
After a few years of dating, we moved to the east coast and tied the knot. He started his production ceramics line as well as opened a pottery school. She opened a craft gallery and bead shop. Several years later the two of us became three, then three turned into five!
With three young kids and a small business we decided to bring it back to where it all began, Montana. In 2017, we moved our family and ceramics business to Bozeman, Montana. Working together daily in our studio and storefront in downtown Bozeman, we produce each and every piece of Indikoi together. Every product is lovingly crafted by our hands, our family, and our small business.
We create.
Indikoi is taking traditional ceramics to a whole new level with custom lighting, sinks, lamps, and pottery. Our innovative designs combined with everyday function will change your space into a work of art. With over twenty years of experience in the ceramics industry our products are refined and built to last. We use only the finest high quality materials, parts, and components. By mixing and formulating our own glazes and clay bodies we create products you won't find anywhere else.
We do.
Our products are made from porcelain fired to cone 10 with colorful crystalline glazes. When porcelain is high fired it becomes non-porous and vitrified, combined with the bond of glazing the clay becomes a very strong and durable material. We mix and formulate our glazes and specialize in crystalline. Crystalline is the art of growing crystals in the glaze matrix during the firing. Crystal formation is influenced by the clay body, glaze formulation, and high heat inside the kiln. Similar to snowflake structures, crystals will grow in all different shapes and sizes. Expect glaze variations in color, size, placement, and number of crystals, as no two pieces are alike. The magic of the crystalline process make each Indikoi product unique!
We love.
We are passionate about what we do. We are pure craftsman at heart, creating quality products that are both beautiful and functional. Our work is intentional and thoughtful. Combining modern forms with the organic nature of our crystalline glaze creates a harmony throughout our body of work. We strive to create products that not only bring joy to your life but also a work of art you can use every day. RADNESS SERVED HERE. ALL DAY.
