Studio Owners

Get Centered owners past & present
(From left to right) Debbie, Leslie, Elly & Jen

Get Centered Clay Studio was originally founded by Elly back in 2008. After a decade of studio ownership, she decided to take a step back & sold the studio to Jen in 2018.

Jen kept the pottery studio alive & running through the ups & downs of the pandemic shutdowns before Debbie & Leslie purchased the studio in January of 2022.

Now Debbie spends most of her days at Get Centered helping members, teaching classes & keeping everyone entertained.

Leslie manages all things “behind the scenes” but still makes plenty of appearances around the studio.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to grow this community & look forward to meeting all the new the students & artists that walk through the door.
