Creating Art, Building Community

We’re Julie and Scott. We fell in love with Pottery in May of 2025 after a 3 hour class at a local studio. After that I couldn’t stop thinking about trying it again. So on one random Saturday night, I asked Scott if he would be willing to take an 8 week course that started the next day. As always, he was all in. And our pottery and craft story was born. We have been taking classes and experimenting ever since. We started our studio in our garage in early 2026 with the goal of opening a pottery and craft studio in Apex in 2026. As I have been waiting for the right location, I have started doing PopUp Craft classes at local venues. I find art helps with my mental health and I know others feel the same. So come and join our community. Our goal is to help you make new friends, have new and fun experiences, and find peace in your days.

Our studio will be a welcoming studio where beginners and lifelong creators alike come to explore, play, and grow. From watercolor mornings to evening clay throwing sessions, every class is designed to feel relaxed, supportive, and downright fun.

Our friendly instructors will share share simple, step-by-step guidance, so you can focus on enjoying the process and connecting with fellow pottery, art, and craft lovers. Whether you’re looking to unwind after work or sharpen your skills, we’ll help you turn inspiration into beautiful results.
