Every single day from our morning coffee to washing our hands, we use functional ceramics without even thinking about it. Every single day, we write new lines in the stories of our lives.

The XXC Story Archive is an online archive of functional ceramic work by Claire Nguyễn and the stories of their supporters who commission or purchase the artwork. This archive intervenes the business to consumer binary demanded by capitalist structures of overconsumption by fostering community and connection between the stories of the everyday users of ceramic art.
