Haley Melcher
Most of what I make is functional. Bowls you reach for every day. Mugs that feel right in your hands. Pieces that earn their place in your home. I believe beauty comes from use. From repetition. From the quiet moments we don't usually think about.

Cups
Over three weeks, learn to throw cup forms on the wheel - centering, pulling walls, and shaping - then trim your pieces and finish them with studio glazes. Leave with a set of cups you made from start to finish.

A working studio that feels like home.
Floridian Ceramics is tucked into Tampa's Seminole Heights neighborhood - a bright and cozy studio built around community and making things by hand.
Classes stay small and personal. You get real, individual instruction from Haley, time at the wheel, and a relaxed space to explore at your own pace.

Muddy Hands, Happy Reviews
It was my first time making pottery, and Haley was an amazing teacher! I had so much fun and love my piece!
The Intro to Wheel Throwing class was great. Haley was super encouraging and patient! Booking was easy, the studio is bright and beautiful and the end results far exceeded my expectations. 10/10
The studio is intimate and Haley gives one on one hands on instruction with each student. Truly a relaxing, creative and fun experience. You can BYOB too :)
