About

About the studio

[PLACEHOLDER BIO] Clay & Cat Naps is a part-time pottery studio run out of a converted garage, currently shared with two studio cats who supervise every glaze decision. Replace this paragraph with the real artist statement — who's throwing the clay, how long you've been at it, and what draws you to the work.

[PLACEHOLDER BIO] A second paragraph is a good spot for process notes: the kind of clay body and glazes used, whether pieces are wheel-thrown or hand-built, and what "functional pottery" means to you day to day.
