About PilgrimWaters

Susy and Keith Waters founded PilgrimWaters in 2012, combining Susy’s award-winning illustration with Keith’s background in 3D and computer graphics. Together they design and manufacture a unique collection of handcrafted textiles and home goods from their studio in Gloucester, MA.

PilgrimWaters has been featured in Connecticut Cottages & Gardens, New England Magazine, The Coastal Table, and The Improper Bostonian, among others. Coverage spans their handcrafted trays, printed textiles, and the story of two British-born designers making things by hand in New England.

Each textile is created in close collaboration with master weavers, printers, and finishers in Nepal and India. Susy’s large-scale original designs are handprinted in small batches, blending a modern graphic aesthetic with traditional artisan craft skills.

Keith handcrafts all trays and stands in his Boston workshop, milling maple and Baltic plywood and silk-screening Susy’s surface designs by hand. What began as a single painted tray has grown into a small-batch line of functional, heirloom-quality home pieces.

PilgrimWaters is committed to creating functional, heirloom-quality products that tread gently on the earth. They work to improve the lives of their small-batch makers worldwide and to deepen customers’ understanding of how each piece is crafted.

Susy and Keith bring complementary disciplines to every piece — Susy’s illustrative sensibility and Keith’s structural precision. Their process is informed by a modern handcrafted aesthetic, drawing inspiration from designers like the Eameses and artists like Barbara Hepworth.
