“The Alley Cat Ceramics
studio is one of my very favorite places to be. I might be biased, but I can also say that the atmosphere and just general vibe is so collaborative, creative, and welcoming for anyone who comes in and to be honest, not something I can even take credit for. We just have a real nice group of members and students that somehow found each other.” — Alexa A.
