~ Courtney Paff, Artist and Owner
My Collection
My name is Courtney Paff and I have been working with clay since early 2015. I started with local artists and instructors at area studios before creating my own space just before the world shut down in 2020. I've learned that the possibilities are endless when working with clay and just how satisfying it feels when a piece is finished and functional. Functional pottery is my goal for most everything I make. Why not sip soup out of a bowl you made from a ball of wet dirt?!?
In addition to creating my own art, I strive to make the studio a comfortable atmosphere to pass along my knowledge to those that have a desire to explore their creative side. The studio is a haven for creativity and craftsmanship, offering classes in wheel-throwing, hand-building, and glazing techniques. I believe in nurturing artistic expression and providing guidance to students as they explore the joy of pottery art.
