Camille at the Wheel is a collection of
handmade, wheel-thrown ceramics with a
bent towards beautiful utility. The ceramic
studio, owned and operated by Camille
Beckles, aims to bring users joy and
usefulness, in equal measure.
Camille carves and textures every pot by
hand, making each piece one-of-a-kind. She
chooses not to measure patterns as she
carves. Actively selecting each stroke keeps
her engaged in the moment. The resulting
details and textures of her pots gently
demand a user’s attention, inviting their
touch and elevating their daily rituals.
Camille’s work has been featured in West
Elm, Starbucks, Architectural Digest, and
more. Outside of her studio, Camille has taught workshops at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and the Lewis Latimer House
Museum. In 2023, she was commissioned alongside 17 other ceramicists to
contribute work to Nekisha Durrett’s Queen City, a permanent public art
installation in Arlington, VA. Most recently, she modeled her work for
Artistic Tile’s “Bringing Art to Life” campaign. Camille practices pottery at a
shared studio in New York City.
