Founder
Why I Built SuperHuman
I found pottery while looking for a creative outlet that could fit alongside being a lawyer, a mother, and a person with a very full life. I loved it almost immediately.
But my pottery journey was never linear.
I’d take a class, start making progress, and then stall. The next class I needed might sell out in minutes, or require me to be somewhere every Tuesday at 7 p.m. for eight weeks. My life just doesn’t work like that.
And I realized I probably wasn’t the only person who wanted to get better at pottery without organizing my entire life around a class schedule.
That’s what led me to build SuperHuman.
I wanted a studio where you can keep learning at your own pace with classes, workspace, equipment, firing, and support available as your practice grows. I also wanted to create an ecosystem where professional artists share space and resources with other members of the ceramic community.
SuperHuman honors what I love most about pottery: it demands your attention, it makes you deal with imperfection, and it gives you endless chances to learn new things and try again.
Superhuman is the studio I wanted when I was trying to figure out how to keep going.

FAQ
CLEAR ANSWERS BEFORE YOU JOIN.
17 questions - answered.
Can beginners join?
Yes. New potters begin with eight included before receiving independent studio access. Experienced potters begin with orientation.
Are classes included?
Yes. Classes are included in each membership package.
Can I reserve a wheel?
Yes. Members can reserve a wheel before arriving. Handbuilding workspaces are reservable too!
How does firing work?
SuperHuman uses an organized firing queue, a published schedule, and digital piece tracking from bisque through pickup. Firing is included when using clay bodies purchased from our shop on-site.
Is firing included in the membership price?
Yes. Standard bisque + glaze firing and studio glazes are included for work made with SuperHuman clay. There are no separate firing fees.
What does HEPA filtration mean?
The studio will use HEPA air filtration alongside dedicated ventilation, wet-cleaning protocols, reclaim systems, and clear cleanup standards.
Can I bring outside clay?
Members must get approval in order to use outside clay in out kilns. We offer 6 different clay bodies for purchase. This ensures compatibility with our firing schedules and glazes.
What costs extra?
Members purchase clay from SuperHuman. Intensives, private 1:1 lessons + Saturday Kids Club are optional paid add-ons.
What if I choose the wrong membership?
Foundations and Studio members can switch between those membership paths during their first 30 days without losing Founding status. At-Home reservations can switch before equipment installation; after installation, the 12-month equipment agreement applies. Your $75 reservation is refundable before membership begins.
What happens between reserving and opening?
Founders begin onboarding in December. Studio and Foundations members can complete orientation, build a Personal Practice Plan, select storage and book classes early. At-Home Founders can schedule equipment installation + setup in January. Founders will also receive first access to pre-opening preview sessions before regular studio access begins in February.
Are glazes included?
Members can use 20 studio glazes. Our Glaze library includes test tiles, glaze examples, and combination examples in the glaze + surface lab.
Do I get storage?
Yes. Members receive dedicated storage, with separate areas for work in progress, drying, firing, and pickup.
What are the hours?
Member access is 7 a.m.–11 p.m., seven days a week.
