Cultivating a Creative Community

When I first arrived in Phoenix, nearly a decade ago, I often felt alone. I was recently gradated from college and starting a teaching career in a city far from the place where I grew up. It was in this season that I found a home in a dusty desert studio, a 45 minute drive away. I quickly integrated myself into an ecclectic community of passionate ceramic artists. Each person pursuing their own style and technique. Everyone willing to share as they went about their pottery journey. About a year later, I met my husband in this special place.

We moved to another city in the valley and started a family. As life changed, we stopped frequenting the studio where we met. But we were eager for the community we once had. We started dreaming of building a place where we could encourage others to grow their craft just as others did for us.

This is where you find us. In the midst of cultivating a creative space, where people can gather to make and to grow as potters and as people. We hope that some of you will find a home away from home in our creative community.
