August is Black Business Month, a time to shine a spotlight on black entrepreneurs and their businesses and creations.
When it comes to interior design and home decor, ceramics always serve as a creative touch and element for your home. Not only does ceramic add texture, substance and nuance to your glassware, dinnerware collection or flower pots, but it is also known to add personality, character and depth to any home collection. Plus, these black creatives have a handle on the pottery craft, from decorative tea plates to ceramic shot glasses.
Check out some of our favorite Black creatives below, from Ekua Ceramics to Karen Jai Home and their creations.

Chocolate shot glasses by Camille at the Wheel
Camille at the Wheel is a collection of handmade, wheel-thrown pottery with a focus on beautiful utility. She wants to bring both joy and utility to her users with her work. We love these chocolate-flavored shot glasses as an alternative to glass glasses.
