About Blanc

Handmade Cookware for Serious Cooks

Founded in 2012 by blacksmith Corry Blanc, Blanc Creatives is a small-batch cookware company based in Charlottesville, Virginia. What began at a farmers market has grown into a nationally recognized brand trusted by professional chefs and passionate home cooks alike.

We forge each piece by hand—from carbon steel pans to wooden utensils and kitchen tools—with a singular focus: blending timeless design with everyday performance. Our award-winning cookware is used in some of the country’s top kitchens, including Blue Hill and Contra in New York City.

Blanc Creatives was honored with the top award in Garden & Gun’s Made in the South Awards. Every piece we create reflects a deep respect for materials, craftsmanship, and the people who use our products.

Craft Over Convenience

At Blanc, we make cookware the slow way—by hand, by fire, by feel. No shortcuts. No factories. Every pan is forged in our Waynesboro, Virginia workshop using time-honored blacksmithing techniques refined for over a decade. We’re rooted in tradition, guided by experience, and driven by a belief that tools should be made with intention.

Our products are not stamped or cast—skilled artisans imbue each piece with character and individuality. We balance refined aesthetics with purposeful function, ensuring every curve, handle, and surface works with you in the kitchen.

Made from materials like carbon steel, copper, and walnut, Blanc cookware evolves, developing a unique patina. These are heirloom-quality pieces, built to perform beautifully and last for generations.

And we’re here for the long haul. Our team delivers not just great products but excellent service. We stand behind every piece with responsive customer care and a satisfaction guarantee that reflects our values.

The Hands Behind the Heat

Our workshop is home to skilled artisans who carry forward centuries-old techniques with patience and pride. Their hands shape each piece, their instincts guide every curve.

Meet the Makers Behind the Craft

Sustainability, by Design

Sustainability is more than a buzzword—it’s a responsibility. At Blanc, that means using honest materials, producing in small batches, and designing with longevity in mind. No coatings. No overproduction. No planned obsolescence.

We source our materials responsibly, using American-made carbon steel and regional hardwoods. Every piece undergoes multiple inspections to ensure it meets the highest standards before it ships. Less waste. More purpose.

We don’t believe in greenwashing. We believe in durability, transparency, and thoughtful design that honors the maker and the environment.
