Your teacher
Heart & Hearth started with a practical problem. I was teaching ceramics to a preschool and couldn't find a local kiln to fire the work in. I tried to buy one and couldn't find a place to put it — and somewhere in that search it became obvious: Topanga has more than enough creatives to deserve a studio of its own.So we opened one, right on the boulevard at Wildwood. Windows open, kiln almost always cooling, neighbors wandering in.Every piece is thrown by hand and glazed in small lots. Nothing here is rushed. Mugs lean a little. Bowls remember the hand that made them. That, we think, is the point.The studio is a teaching space, too. Right now that's a couple of intro-to-wheel sessions and summer camp on the calendar — with weekday and Saturday classes taking shape for the fall. If any of that sounds like you, say hello and we'll keep you posted.
