The story behind the name
Named for a constellation in the night sky
The Pleiades are a small star cluster, sometimes called the Seven Sisters. Six of the sisters are bright and visible to the naked eye. The seventh faded from view long ago, and is known as the Lost Pleiad — the sister who is still there, present and permanent, just slightly apart from the others.
Our family business is named in her honor, and in honor of our own Olivia Grace, the daughter we lost before we ever got to meet her. Her name carries through everything we make. The Lost Pleiad is the parent company that holds both of our shops, and her quiet presence beneath everything we do.
We are a small family studio working from Weatherford, Texas. We make different things in different voices, but it all comes from the same place — our home, our table, our love for the people we make for. Thank you for being here.
