Our mission
BabyFace Pottery Studio was born from my deep passion for both clay and community. My love for clay began with the joy of creating anything and everything with my hands, but it is the sense of community that truly inspired me to share this passion through teaching workshops, classes, and engaging at all educational levels. Participating in markets and festivals has also been a joy. I always looked forward to heading to the studio, where it buzzed with activity around the clock. The camaraderie among artists, discussing their work, glaze firing results, sharing techniques and ideas, and simply talking about life, made it a special place. There was always a pot of coffee on the burner and a homemade snack brought in from a fellow potter sitting on the plaster table. The studio always felt warm, welcoming, and a comfortable place to be at.
My goal is to recreate that same sense of community here at BabyFace Pottery Studio. Whether you are an experienced potter or brand new to the craft, I hope this studio becomes your second home, a place where creativity and connection thrive.
