About The Owner
Sarah Miner
At the heart of our studio is a lifelong love for creativity, family, and making memories through art.
The owners passion for painting ceramics began in childhood, spending time in her mothers basement studio--complete with a kiln and shelves of pottery waiting to be brought to life. Those moments, filled with paint, laughter, and creativity, became more than just memories; they became the foundation of a lifelong love for ceramic art.
Today, the same joy continues-- now shared with her own family. One of her greatest joys is painting alongside her children and grandchildren, turning simple pottery pieces into meaningful keepsakes and cherished memories.
Originally from Traverse City, MI, she has deep roots in the community and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, having started and run several business in the area over the years. But this studio is different-- it is her first dedicated pottery space, and it represents something deeply personal: a place built around creativity, connection, and family.
With six children and 16 grandchildren, family has always been at the center of her life. That same sense of warmth, togetherness, and joy is what she hopes every guest feels when they walk through the studio doors.
This isn't just a place to paint pottery--its a place to slow down, create, and make memories that last.
