Meet the potter.
My name is Anna, I’m 22 years old, and I am currently pursuing a History of Art and Visual Culture degree at UC Santa Cruz! I’ve been doing ceramics for about five years, but I started selling my work full-time after losing a scholarship to study abroad because of the global pandemic. What at the time seemed like the worst moment of my life turned into a wonderful opportunity to start my own business as an artist!
Since then, I’ve been making ceramics every day, and in 2023 I was able to open a production studio with two friends. I go to local vendor sales, stock stores with my work, and sell online! Thanks to everyone who has bought a piece or simply supported me in any way:)
Product FAQs
-
Unless stated otherwise, yes you can! All pieces with gold luster, though, are not microwave-safe.
-
Ceramic pipes are super sturdy and can be cleaned just like a glass pipe! I recommend using 70%-90% isopropyl alcohol and salt, putting it in a bag, and shaking it up! Rinse afterward with some water:)
-
Yes! Unless stated otherwise, my pieces are fully vitrified, so they won’t get any damage from your dishwasher.
-
Yes! My pipes are fully vitrified and completely glazed with non-toxic, lead-free glazes, so they’re perfectly safe to smoke out of!
How to purchase my work!
-
Around once a month I will restock my site with new work on a set date and time! This is posted in my Instagram bio and announced to my newsletter subscribers. Things tend to sell quickly so I recommend setting an alarm and creating an account with me to save your address and payment info.
-
Unfortunately, I don’t accept reservations in the spirit of fairness to all of my customers.
-
I do not make individual custom pieces! I would consider making a set of something — contact me if you have a fun idea!

My studio at the Tannery Arts Center in Santa Cruz is open every first Friday of the month from 5-9pm. I’m located in the 1060 building in studio #122.
You are welcome to explore the Tannery outside of first friday and we have a hallway exhibit you can look at as well, but please don’t try to enter our studio outside of open hours — thank you for respecting our privacy!
