The Jacksonville Pottery Studio is owned by Cat Seibler, also the owner of Cat Scratch Ceramics. Cat has known she wanted to open up a pottery studio in Jacksonville as soon as she started her career in the arts. She started off taking a pottery class in her home town Tampa, at the Academy of the Holy Names High School. She instantly knew this was her calling but she also learned as she went on to college her love of business and management. Cat started her degree in management, but it was her love of being an athlete rower and ceramicists where she found herself transferring to Jacksonville University.

Cat took on an internship in 2014 to work for the Public Art Sector of the Cultural Council and fell in love with the management part of the arts. She then took on teaching throwing classes at a local non profit art center and made her way with Cat Scratch in selling her work at local markets, but her love was really in spreading her love of teaching and she knew Jacksonville was in need of a Pottery studio.

This is when Jacksonville Pottery Studio was born. Jacksonville Pottery Studio is a community space to make and share the love the of the craft of pottery with others.

The Jacksonville Pottery Studio is a community pottery studio with weekly classes on how to make pottery and a shared community center for members to use the space to make their very own creations.

In 2022 Cat married the love of her life, Steven Seibler. They are expecting a baby girl come January of 2023.

“I created this space for the community and I am so excited that Jacksonville Pottery Studio has become such a true family of members and students who all share in the love of creating.”
