Hey there, SW Burbs! 👋 We're Kerri and Phil, the husband and wife team behind Sweet Tea Craftworks.

We recently relocated to Bolingbrook to put down roots after Phil wrapped up his Navy career. Now that we've settled in, we've officially reopened our shop!

We create handcrafted home goods: custom furniture, leather goods, wheel-thrown pottery, and wooden wick candles. As a veteran, woman & minority-owned small business, we take pride in meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Every piece is made by the two of us, by hand. Built to last, not to be replaced.

🎉 To celebrate being back, we're offering 15% off your entire order through June 11th with code WEBACK15 at checkout.

You can find us online and we'll be popping up at local craft markets soon. Follow along on Instagram so you don't miss us →

We're so glad to be your neighbors. Thanks for supporting small! 🤍

A behind-the-scenes look at a pottery day in our studio. 🏺

Today’s lineup:
• Wheel-thrown mugs
• A surprise spoon rest after a mug had other plans
• A blate (bowl + plate combo)

Featuring Phil’s expert pottery commentary and a live demonstration of why clay doesn’t always cooperate. 🤪

What’s your favorite piece: the mug, the blate, or the accidental spoon rest?
