Salmat Oladipupo
In April 2024, at 6am, I received a message from my previous employer: my position had been terminated. After the initial shock, I found myself searching for something to occupy my mind and spirit. That very night, I signed up for a pottery class the next day. I left that class in a state of profound calm and quiet joy. I fell in love instantly. A month later, I bought my first wheel to start self teaching since my studio was too far from my house (thank you Austin traffic).
It’s hard to fully describe the solitude and peace that comes with working in clay. When I’m throwing or handbuilding, it often feels like I disappear into my own world, the outside noise falls away, and all that exists is form, texture, color, and the beauty of creation.
I’ve since returned to full-time work, but I also converted my garage into a pottery studio (my car has been exiled, sorry to it). I began sharing my journey online right from my first class, and the response was so warm and encouraging that I’ve decided to create and share intentional collections. It’s an incredible amount of effort but it is truly a labor of love. I’m deeply grateful for every person who has supported, encouraged, and followed along with this new chapter.

Custom Work & Commissions
I’m currently open for commissioned ceramic pieces and special custom designs. I require approximately 2 months advance notice for commissions to allow time for concept, production, glazing, and firing. If you have a specific size, glaze, or form in mind, I would love to create something personal and unique for you.
Please include in your message:
desired piece(s)
color/glaze preferences
quantity
timeline
any reference photos or inspiration
Thank you for supporting handmade ceramics and slow craft.
