I’m Haley

I’m a fourth-generation Floridian, raised by people who worked with their hands. They made things that lasted because they had to. Things that were useful before they were pretty. That way of thinking shaped how I work and why I work with clay.

Clay is honest. It rewards patience. It shows every decision you make. It can’t be rushed or controlled. Working with it asks you to slow down and pay attention.

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.

This studio grew from that relationship with clay, and with time. It’s a grounded, welcoming space for beginners and experienced makers alike. There’s no pressure to be perfect here - just the chance to make something real with your hands.

I’m glad you’re here.
