Meza Franco Pottery
Austin, TX
Chad Franco is the creative force behind Meza Franco, where each piece of clay pottery is thoughtfully hand-thrown and finished with signature marbled glazes, hand-carved details, and earthy, food-safe colors. Inspired by his passion for natural building and sustainable materials — like cob, adobe, and natural plasters — Chad brings that same connection to the earth into every Meza Franco creation.
Originally from San Luis Obispo, California, Chad led natural building and clay workshops before moving to Austin to start Meza Franco. Today, his work blends form, function, and sustainability, with no two pieces exactly alike.
From mugs and tumblers to bowls and pendants, Meza Franco pieces are made to be used, loved, and admired.
