Our Story

After spending a lifetime as a crafter and creative, Jessica finally found her passion and artistic focus in 2019 when gifted a 6-week pottery course at a local art studio. Instantly falling in love, Jessica began to find her creative voice through clay and has been working towards her love of pottery and ceramics ever since. Knowing that the art being created on this journey needed a home, Cardinal and Clay was born!
