About Us

Ember & Bloom was born out of something simple: I cared, and I wanted a place where that actually mattered.

The more I talked with other potters, students, peers, friends, the more I kept hearing the same things: misfiring, broken pieces, long delays, and that sinking feeling that once their work left their hands, it was out of their control. And no one seemed to blink.

But I did.

I knew there had to be a better way. I wanted a space where potters felt respected. Where their work was fired with consistency and actual care. Where timelines matter. Where their work matters.

Ember & Bloom is a community-rooted resource, shaped by the needs I’ve seen, the stories I’ve heard, and the makers I’ve met along the way.

It’s for the garage throwers, the kitchen-sink creatives, the weekend market makers. Anyone looking for a space where their work is fired with intention.

If Ember & Bloom didn’t exist, I think something in me would feel missing. And I know I’d be doing this community a disservice. Because I have the vision, the motivation, and the deep belief that this craft deserves more care, and more respect, than it’s often given.

I started with questions, not answers. No one showed me how to do this and I learned everything the long way. But I kept going, because something in me refused to quit.

And now? I want to be that starting point for someone else.
Because everyone deserves the chance to build something they’re proud of and a place that believes in them while they do it.
