About Me

I, Toussaint Pegues, got my start in clay 7 years ago in high school, but ceramics was mostly put on hold while I went to college. I'm a full time engineer, but I put in time at the clay studio at every opportunity. I have the most fun optimizing my abilities to make as many pieces as fast as possible while still giving each unique piece the attention it deserves. I end up making more work than I can even give away, so that's where this shop comes in. 

Why Damp Box?

A damp box is an container used to regulate humidity to keep projects in progress moist enough to be workable. In the studio I'm a member of, the best place to take photos is on top of the damp boxes, so the words "Damp Box" appear in many of my photos. I thought it was funny, so I made that my shop name. And later I decided to change that because it wasn't Googleable and using my own name is probably a little better of an idea.
