✨SLAB WORK✨Slab building is where hand builders fall in love with the process. We cut, shape, score, join, and slowly breathe life into a flat piece of earth until it becomes something that can be held, used, and cherished for years to come.For me, working with slabs is more than making pottery it’s a way of coming home to myself. Clay has a way of slowing you down, grounding your spirit, and reminding you that beautiful things take time.A heartfelt thank you to the Clay Center of St. Petersburg for welcoming me into such an inspiring community. This studio didn’t just give me a place to create it helped bring me back to life as an artist. I’ll always be grateful for the space, the encouragement, and the opportunity to reconnect with the part of myself that has always belonged in clay.If you’ve ever been curious about pottery or wanted to reconnect with your creative side, I highly encourage you to check out the Clay Center of St. Petersburg. You might just discover a part of yourself you didn’t know was waiting to be found.Here’s to new beginnings, muddy hands, and the beautiful journey ahead. 🤎#potterylover #soulart #clayart #slab #handbuilder by @clay_center

The best part of learning pottery isn’t getting it perfect—it’s having someone there to guide you through the process.A few moments from last night’s intermediate wheel class with @ashley.angstadt and @laurenjudah. We love watching artists build confidence, ask questions, and discover what they’re capable of—one class at a time. 🤍Have you ever wanted to try wheel throwing?#Stpete #stpetearts #potteryclass #wheelthrowing #claycommunity by @clay_center
