About

Stone Meets Clay was born out of a passion for pottery and a desire to bring people together through creativity. During the isolating days of the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw an opportunity to create something meaningful: a space where students and communities could deepen relationships, form new connections, and escape the monotony of daily campus life.

Founder Jackson Stone spent most of his high school and college years pursuing pottery. He's always found it to be a powerful medium for expression, relaxation, and bonding. Whether shaping clay or painting a masterpiece, the process of creation is both exciting and approachable, making it the perfect outlet for connection.

Founded in 2021, Stone Meets Clay started with a simple mission: to foster creativity and community. Through our events, we've watched teams transform. Coworkers who barely knew each other leave as friends. Groups that arrived quiet and reserved become animated and collaborative. The process of working with clay breaks down barriers in ways traditional team building never could. Our events offer a unique, unstructured environment where everyone can unwind, connect, and leave with something truly their own: a one-of-a-kind piece of art.

Today, Stone Meets Clay has grown beyond a single pottery studio. We now span multiple universities and communities across the country. By sharing our love for pottery, we hope to inspire others to find their passion, connect with others, and create lasting memories.
