Jim Schatz designs and handcrafts products from the inside out to make common things in a wonderfully unique and innovative way. He gets meaningful results because it involves him completely.

Jim turns his life inside out quite frequently to see clearly and make things that work. Over the past few years it has been about eggs, then light and eggs, then birds, then birds and eggs and food, then birds and eggs and houses, then buff humpty, then curtains, then poodle butts, then salt and pepper...you get the picture. Some things work, some don’t, but the process is ongoing.

The process begins with clay and a sense of wonder. Jim and the team take inspired ideas to task, creating ceramic ware that is pierced, scratched, carved, drilled, glazed and fired into beautifully finished products. These are incorporated into Jim’s daily life and subjected to the wonder test to become a wonder-certified J Schatz product.

The wonder test is quite simple. If a product inspires wonder throughout the weeks, months and years that Jim lives with it, the product will be produced. Customers confirm Jim’s findings in heartfelt letters, e-mail and phone calls of praise, motivating J Schatz to continue creating products that expose the wonders of life.

Today the company has twelve product lines. Thousands of products are sold to satisfied customers throughout all fifty states and in 14 countries.
