Learn Pottery, Find Your People, Grow Artistically

The Mathom Maker's Guild

Where dedicated makers find both the functional education and sincere support they truly need to grow- without judgement, pressure, or loneliness of creating in isolation.

Working as a potter was never a path that was supposed to be ventured alone. For thousands of years pottery has been a craft that has been passed down and shared among communities of people, However today there are more potters working alone in home studios than ever. It's time to get back to our roots.

POTTERS WANT TO...

  • Feel confident in their creative decisions
  • Work and grow alongside other creatives without fear of competition
  • Sure that they've chosen the right path
  • Build something meaningful for themselves, and the people they support
  • Earn a meaningful wage from the pieces they create

Instead, Most Potters...

  • Feel insecure about their chosen path, which leads to burn out and indecision
  • Think they've fallen behind their peers who seem to have learned the "right" way
  • Become frustrated or embarrased at explaining what they are doing to their friends and family
  • Spend years trying to "figure it out" the hard way- on their own
  • Work in isolation at home studios, or struggle to connect with those in established communities

You've been on this journey alone too long- scouring YouTube, scrolling Instagram Reels, and posting for people who dont care, wondering when it will all suddenly "Click".

YET THROUGH IT ALL, YOU REMAINED PERSISTENT.
YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN UP. YOU CONTINUE TO CREATE.

In spite of all the feelings of insecurity, there is something inside you that urged you to keep going, keep showing up, keep trying.
Even when it feels like the world is working against you because...

You have a dream to be a confident creator and...

I Know What It's Like to Feel Like Your Not Growing

After I left my university clay studio with degree in hand, I tried to make a career from this passion I found at school, and I realized something very important that none of my art professors prepared me for...

Being a working artist is not for the faint of heart. There's a mountain of difference between learning how to make pottery in school, and what it takes to make your way as an "real artist"

Ceramics is a difficult path on its own, and the resources to help lower the bar to becoming a working potter were far and few between. I had a dream even all those years ago of creating a space where craft, story, and community came together to create powerful personal transformation in the lives of those who wanted to pursue a creative life.

I spent the next 15 years chasing every avenue that would let me learn and grow as a professional pottery business owner and artist.
From apprentice, studio manager, educator, clay customer service rep, production potter, six-figure studio owner, and creative director for one of largest ceramic supply stores in the country- I've wound my way back to my original dream: Creating a craft school and community where creatives can thrive.


This is it!
