Hello all! Our names are Sheena and Jason and we love making stuff. Sheena is the potter of the family and I, Jason, am the woodworker. We love stretching our creative muscles and experimenting with new designs.

Sheena moved to Charlottesville in 2010 to pursue her PhD in biochemistry and molecular genetics (nerd) and I followed the next year. After Sheena completed grad school, we decided to stay in Charlottesville and bought a little yellow house that we named Ursus Manor. We love living here at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. When we're not at our full time jobs or in our workshops, we spend our free time outside, playing with our dogs (Zoey and Bobby) and visiting local breweries.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you find something you like. Please feel free to visit our Instagram site to view some of our recent work. Our hope at Ursus Manor Designs is to provide each customer with unique and creative goods that brighten your home.
