Ongoing Works

female Women-owned

Ongoing Works is a pottery studio and creative community based in San Diego, California, rooted in the belief that there is real good in the act of making! Founded under the warm spirit of Misha Ceramics, they offer pottery classes and studio memberships for anyone ready to get their hands in the clay, whether it’s their very first time or they’re returning to the wheel with fresh eyes. Their thoughtfully handcrafted mugs, dinnerware, and home decor carry that same intention — pieces made to bring people together, spark creativity, and make everyday moments feel a little more special.
What sets Ongoing Works apart is their whole-hearted embrace of the process over perfection. They genuinely believe that showing up, trying something new, and growing through the experience is what it’s all about. It’s a space that welcomes curiosity, celebrates the imperfect, and reminds us that creativity isn’t a destination — it’s something you keep returning to, again and again!
