One Cup Studio: Where Clay Meets Community in Sierra Madre

At REALIV, we believe that a home isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling, a reflection of the people and stories that inhabit it. That’s why we’re thrilled to spotlight One Cup Studio, a serene pottery haven nestled in the heart of Sierra Madre.

Crafted with Purpose

Founded in 2024 by ceramic artist Yau Chung Tong, One Cup Studio is more than just a pottery shop—it’s a space where artistry and everyday life intertwine. Yau, who has dedicated over 17 years to working with clay, brings a deep appreciation for the functionality of objects and the enhancement of daily life through craftsmanship. His pieces are not only visually appealing but are designed to seamlessly integrate into the lives of their users.

A Collection That Speaks to the Soul

The studio offers a curated selection of handmade ceramics, including Yunomi cups, bowls, incense holders, and other small goods. Each piece carries a unique touch of artistry and warmth, embodying the studio’s philosophy that pots represent the emotions of the maker and are completed through the interaction of the user.

Experience the Art of Pottery

Beyond its retail offerings, One Cup Studio provides pottery classes that blend relaxation and creativity. These inspiring sessions invite participants to discover the joy of working with clay, fostering a sense of mindfulness and artistic expression.

A Community-Centered Space

Yau’s journey from Hong Kong to Sierra Madre is a testament to his commitment to community and craftsmanship. His vision for One Cup Studio was inspired by the town’s welcoming atmosphere, where neighbors greet each other with warmth and friendliness. This spirit is reflected in the studio, where visitors are encouraged to slow down, engage with the creative process, and connect with others.
