What students are saying

  • Honestly, I've been searching for a creative BIPOC and Trans/Queer friendly art studio for so long! Thankful that Jess has created this space!

  • Jess meets each individual student at their skill level [to] make sure no one was left behind. Although many of the people in my class had more experience, Jess made sure I was getting the one on one attention I needed to succeed. I hope to take another class again soon!

  • I took one of Jess’s intro pottery classes and felt so incredibly supported, both technically and creatively. They answer any and all questions with such patience and care, never once did I feel discouraged. I feel so grateful that I was able to learn so much under their guidance and would highly recommend them as an instructor to anyone.

  • I took a class with Jess last semester that really cemented my love of clay and creation! They're a great teacher with a good vibe and a ton of knowledge to share. It was really easy to understand the expectations of the class, follow along, and create some really cool pieces. I would highly recommend Jess as a teacher, especially to QTPOC students looking for a non-pretentious, comfortable, and creative environment to learn more about pottery!

  • I took a wreath making class with Jess, and it was such a lovely experience! Jess is the best teacher, and a creative genius. The careful preparation of foraged materials and clear, warm instruction showed a high level of intention and care! It was so lovely to work with Jess, and I would highly recommend the experience to anyone seeking to reconnect with craft and creativity in a warm, supportive and engaging environment. Jess is the best!
