OUR STORY
OUR STORY
When we started Ugly Potters, our most important goal was to keep our friendship first. From our solid foundation, we can build a safe space to create, laugh, and make mistakes. As we grow, we'll bring others along with us - creating more room for play.Â
Working with clay is a humbling process. Join us as things get delightfully ugly!
Maya makes pottery for your hands, not your display case. Her thoughtfully crafted pieces feature hand-pulled handles, vibrant glazes, and the occasional cheeky message because life's too short for boring mugs! Maya got hooked on pottery at summer camp. While her technique keeps improving, her love of making a mess, playing with mud, and giggling remains the same. Originally from Toronto, Maya has called Vancouver home since 2015.

Ashley is an architect with an eye for sass. She hails from Texas, but her true love for the outdoors pulled her north, and has happily lived in Vancouver since 2016 with her partner and dog. When she's not making buildings or splashing in the water from dragon boat racing, she is getting down and dirty with clay and glaze. She has over 9 years of working with clay with a focus on bringing humour into her pieces.
