About Us
Who We Are
Community-Minded, Community-Backed
Stone Studio is a family-owned and operated pottery studio founded by Jennifer & Brad Hooker. Our Stone Studio community is made up of a team of local makers, coffee lovers, musicians, students, free thinkers, explorers and our fair share of studio dogs that come in all shapes and sizes.
To run a production pottery studio, it takes a tribe of devoted makers, studio hands and interns to keep the production cycle moving.
Jennifer is a seasoned potter with her own line of ceramic homewares who has a passion to share her knowledge of clay with those wanting to explore their creativity. Together with a team of amazing makers from the region, with a diverse range of skills and experiences, Stone Studio welcomes people from all walks of life to come and gather as we share knowledge, grow together and create friendships that last a lifetime.
How Stone Studio Started
Don’t forget to breathe.
Stone Studio exists to give people in the local community the chance to disconnect from their busy lifestyles and reconnect with themselves.
We offer an inclusive space where people can escape from their busy lifestyles and be inspired and encouraged to express themselves, be nurtured and supported in developing a new creative skill set and find meaningful human connections with like-minded people.
Our goal is to offer a creative sanctuary where the local community can catch their breath and leave feeling more confident and connected.
No matter if you consider yourself creative or not, we are committed to your creative journey.
Why We Exist
At Stone Studio, we believe that ditching your iPhone and doing something creative while being part of a vibrant local community is the best thing a person can do for their health, well-being and general outlook on life.
Our vision is to create a space where individuals can disconnect from their busy lifestyles, reconnect with themselves by learning a new skill and build confidence through creativity.
Whether you are new to clay or an experienced potter, we are committed to your ceramic journey.
What Makes Us Unique
Home of Clay
At Stone, we pride ourselves on being the home of clay. We have beginner workshops for all ages and skill levels. Our introductory classes and courses are hosted by local makers with decades of experience that are eager to share their knowledge of the timeless process that is clay making.
For those who have been working with clay for some time, and want to explore a new dimension of what ceramics has to offer, we also offer intermediate to advanced specialty workshops and courses with various makers that have often spent a lifetime devoted to their craft.
Stone Studio operates with an open door policy where people from all walks of life are invited to enquire and welcomed into a warm and friendly creative environment designed to nurture and build confidence. We encourage individuals to use their newfound skill set as a vehicle to explore originality and ignite their souls.
