In short, me! Seven Magpies is primarily a one-woman operation.
My name is Emily Jenkins and I am a potter and dressage trainer living in south-east Michigan. I rekindled my love of ceramics and pottery in 2019 after being inspired by my lovely mother and her pursuit of the craft.

I am head potter, studio manager, and the entire shipping and administration team. My lovely husband, Jeremy Bastian, does help here and there, as does my beloved studio assistant and canine companion, Logain.

Shop updates are pre-scheduled, announced dates on which I release a batch of pots for sale. This allows me to build up a substantial amount of work before listing it, and gives those supporters and followers of my work a little heads-up when things are posted.

All items will be marked unavailable prior to the shop update, but may be viewable in the SHOP tab above. Shop updates will be published ahead of time on my various social media accounts.

Please join my mailing list for additional purchasing opportunities!

At this time, I am not able to take commissions due to my focus on production for my shop. Please email me to inquire after potential wholesale orders.

While I do recommend hand washing whenever possible, all Seven Magpies pieces are dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe and food-safe unless otherwise noted. Please note, however, that the use of non-neutral pH dish detergents can deteriorate glazes – even big box store glazes – over time!
The best care for your ceramics is always to hand wash using a gentle, neutral pH detergent.
