Why We Started Pottering Around Los Angeles (And Why We're Bringing Screen-Free Creativity Back)



Creating something with your hands is one of life's simplest joys.

As an artist, I love making work that tells stories, sparks conversations, and brings people together. I wanted to create something different, something that anyone could enjoy, no artistic experience required.

That's how Pottering Around Los Angeles came to life.

I wanted to make something you could pull out on a rainy afternoon, bring to a birthday party, give as a thoughtful gift, or share around the kitchen table.

There's something special about slowing down, picking up a paintbrush, and making something that's uniquely yours.

Every plaster piece is handmade in Los Angeles. From pouring each mold into carefully packaging every kit, my goal is to create something that feels thoughtful from the moment it arrives.

Whether you're a parent looking for a screen-free activity, a grandparent making memories with the kids, or an adult who simply loves to paint, I hope these kits bring a little more color, imagination and connection into your day.

I can't wait to see what you create.
