INFO

Hi!

I’m so excited to welcome you to my new studio (especially welcoming back so many of you!).

This is our second term of operating. We're still tweaking, building and improving elements of the studio. I hope you will have a wonderful time getting messy with clay during our sessions.

Do give me your feedback on workflow and ways we can improve. I want this to be a community for you guys and hope it will be a positive place to come to create and play with mud!
