About · Southwest Pottery · Tucson
It started in high school, with clay and paint. It became this studio.
Southwest Pottery is my small pottery studio in Tucson. Here's how it got here, in the same four stages every pot goes through.
01 Raw clay
Since high school.
I've been making and creating pottery and painting since I was in high school, and I have a passion for it.
Clay and paint, both, from the start.
02 Bisque
Then people noticed.
People started noticing my craft and said I should do classes and events for people.
So I did. Most people find the studio through word of mouth or my IG account.
03 Glaze
And it's been working.
Here's the studio today.
