where earth meets sky

Where Earth Meets Sky ceramic studio is run by me, Anelisse Boyd, and my family. My daughter helps me reclaim clay, my husband made the beautiful website, and my son makes the clay caterpillars that are not for sale because of their high value.

The studio is a culmination of my family's support and 5 years of practice. It is intentionally multifaceted to reflect different aspects of what I value; dedication to the craft and learning, loving people well, and creating products that hold meaning and purpose. We work at a slow pace, respecting the limits of clay, which needs to dry slowly. We don't take on large bulk orders, but rather, I pour my heart into creating beautiful one-of-a-kind objects.

"Where Earth Meets Sky" is the current expression of this 5-year culmination. The name came from my 8-year-old's spelling list. It was the word "Horizon" that was defined as "Where Earth Meets Sky." I felt like that was the perfect way to describe the studio space and the unexplainable experiences I've had there. When I am in the studio, I feel like God is there, touching the insignificant and making it something more than just clay.

My belief that God is with me fuels my obsession with the material world. Raw things like dirt, sand, grass, and rocks are simple and not so shiny. They are humble materials that we find our origin in. Yet, these humble materials, just like myself, come alive by the touch of God. This name also felt like a perfect name for a studio that makes lighting. :)

Dallas is home. Oak Cliff specifically is the place I used to come visit my Grandma when I was little. I've always felt drawn to the community here and I'm so excited that now I live and work here.

I designed the studio space to be part workspace and part showroom/retail/workshop teaching space. We really hope that you'll come and be apart of bringing it to life. We hope it will be a fun place to stop by on the weekend or during the week! It's the beginning of something beautiful.

If you'd like to work on a custom project for your space or book a private workshop, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Normandy is a quiet place of retreat. With rhythyms of prayer, serving, and creating. It's a place for creatives to discover a new way, rooted in the truth, "I'm valued for who I am".

During the Summer, we welcome you to join the Atelier Create creative school, or consider joining the Studio Residency in Dallas where similar values are shared and experienced.
