The Artist

Clay, Surf
& San Diego Sun

I'm Shane — a backyard ceramic artist working out of my garage studio in North Park, San Diego. When I'm not at the wheel, you'll find me in the water.

Every piece I make carries a little bit of that California energy — the colors of the coastline, the texture of sun-dried earth, the feeling of getting your hands dirty and making something real.

I host intimate pottery experiences for anyone who wants to slow down, get creative, and walk away with something they made themselves. It's clay, good company, and usually a glass of rosé.

Where It Happens

The Studio

Tucked behind a blue garage door in North Park — surfboards on the wall, string lights overhead, palm trees swaying outside. This is where the magic happens. A small, intentional space where every piece gets the attention it deserves.

Rosé & Clay

An evening of wine, music, and clay. Gather your crew, grab a glass, and throw your first pot in a chill backyard setting. No experience needed — just good vibes.

Bachelorette Parties

Skip the usual and do something your crew will actually remember. An afternoon of clay, drinks, and making custom keepsakes — right in the backyard under the string lights.
