🏺 loam

shaped by hand

A native Android pottery marketplace app — browse and shop handmade ceramic pieces, built end-to-end in Kotlin.

Loam is a pottery-only crafts marketplace app — vases, mugs, planters, dinnerware, wall hangings, trays, and more — wrapped in a warm, tactile interface that mirrors the handmade products it sells.
