Our community leaders

  • A man smiling with arms crossed, standing on a balcony with a lantern hanging from above.

    Curtis Yu

    Founder and Owner

    “Builindg community through creating access to art is what I love to do.”

  • A young woman with long red hair, glasses, and a patterned jacket, sitting on outdoor stairs next to a black metal railing and a wall with stacked paper bags, smiling at the camera.

    Megan Gannon

    Studio Manager

    “My ceramics practice helps me find balance—between control and serendipity, technical skill and expression. I think integrating these elements helps foster confidence and self-acceptance, on and off the wheel.”

  • A man smiling outdoors in front of greenery, wearing a green hoodie.

    Day Chan

    Instructor

    “I emphasize a holistic approach to pottery with a happiness and care of the body as priority. Clay is a form of meditation and teacher, not just while learning to center on the wheel but also to bring wholeness and center to one self.”
