We’re celebrating remarkable women in the worlds of food and design throughout Women Are Amazing Month (aka Women’s History Month, Food52-style). Is there a woman we should be profiling? Let us know.
Josephine Heilpern, founder of Brooklyn-based ceramics and home goods brand, Recreation Center, pours her heart and soul into every inch of her vibrant business. She makes every Recreation Center product, from vases to cups, by hand, and is responsible for this much-loved coffee mug in our limited edition collection. (Our team fought over who got to use it in the staff kitchen, until it went missing. We’re still not over it.)
Recently, we visited Josephine at her studio to learn more about Recreation Center’s origins, her industry inspirations, and how she transforms mugs into works of art.
Have any other questions for Josephine? Let us know in the comments below!
Food52 (we cook 52 weeks a year, get it?) is a food and home brand, here to help you eat thoughtfully and live joyfully.
