The Kiln Café
Grayshott Pottery.
The Commission
A festive challenge.
A well-earned prize.
The Kiln Café at Grayshott Pottery came to Sequoia Studios through our festive bobble hat challenge, winning a food and drink photography shoot as one of the competition prizes.
The resulting commission focused on creating a fresh library of café imagery, capturing dishes and drinks alongside a glimpse of the makers at work within the pottery itself. It was an opportunity to tell a broader story about a café that's intrinsically connected to the creative environment around it.
MADE FOR SOCIAL
Portrait by design.
Food made to stop the scroll.
With social media the primary destination for the photography, much of the shoot was deliberately composed in portrait format, creating a varied library of food and drink imagery designed for The Kiln Café's social channels.
The setting was unmistakably Grayshott too. The crockery featured throughout was all made at Grayshott Pottery, with additional props selected from its Emporium, giving the images a visual character rooted in the place itself.
BEYOND THE CAFÉ
Made by hand.
In more ways than one.
The ceramics had been part of the story from the first photograph, so it felt natural to step beyond the café and capture some of the people who make them. A short series of working portraits connected the finished pieces on the table with the craft, skill and people behind Grayshott Pottery.
