About us

Building community through art

Solace Studio started with me finding community through pottery. What began as something I did for myself became a way to connect with other people, and eventually, an idea for something bigger.

 

I wanted to create the kind of space I had found through clay. Somewhere making art feels communal, not intimidating. A place where people can gather around a table, laugh, learn, experiment, and leave with both something they made and a sense of connection.

 

Today, Solace Studio creates small-batch functional pottery, offers pottery classes in Lake Jackson, and brings hand-building experiences directly to groups through Clay Anywhere™. Based in Lake Jackson, Solace serves Brazoria County, the Texas Gulf Coast, and the Greater Houston area.

 

At its heart, Solace isn't just about pottery. It's about creating opportunities for people to make something with their hands, try something new, and connect with the people around them.

 

Giving back is part of that too. Solace regularly supports local organizations and community causes through donations, partnerships, scholarships, and other opportunities to use art to give back.

 

Art is the medium. Connection is the purpose.

What We Believe

At Solace Studio, our values shape every piece we make and every experience we hope to create.

  • Community over competition. There's room for all of us to create, grow, and succeed.

  • Art should be accessible. Everyone deserves the opportunity to explore creativity, regardless of experience or background.

  • Learning never ends. Curiosity, experimentation, and mistakes are all part of the creative process.

  • Kindness matters. We believe in creating spaces where people feel welcome, encouraged, and respected.

  • Service extends beyond the studio. As a Navy veteran, service has always been an important part of my life. Solace Studio continues that commitment by supporting organizations that strengthen our communities through the arts, mental health, accessibility, veterans, and other causes that reflect the studio's values.

  • Community is something we build together. Every purchase, every class, every conversation, and every shared experience helps shape what Solace Studio will become.
