Our Story
In 2014, Pinar, the visionary behind it all, discovered her passion for ceramics in Istanbul, Turkey. She quickly realized that working with clay offered more than just an artistic outlet—it provided a profound sense of peace and inner calm. This moment laid the foundation for what would become Clay and Kiln. Molding clay became a meditative practice where the world faded away, leaving only the present moment, her hands, and the clay. This sense of presence and peace led Pinar to view ceramics not just as art but as a pathway to inner tranquility and mindfulness.
Moving to the United States in 2017, Pinar initially paused her ceramics but was drawn back to it, compelled by its therapeutic benefits. Experimenting with new techniques and sharing her passion through teaching, she discovered the joy it brought to others. This inspired her to create Clay and Kiln, a studio dedicated to creativity, personal growth, and wellness through pottery.
At Clay and Kiln, individuals explore the therapeutic aspects of ceramics, fostering a sense of calm, focus, and well-being. Here, creativity knows no bounds, mistakes are embraced as part of the learning journey, and pottery serves as a powerful tool for mindfulness and self-discovery. Through dedication and love, Pinar created Clay and Kiln to share the transformative magic of ceramics. Join us in exploring the serene blend of artistry and mindfulness, where each creation is a step towards inner peace and self-awareness.
