Meet the Artists

At Brevard Clay, our gallery is filled with more than just pottery - it’s filled with people, stories, and purpose.

Each piece you’ll find is handcrafted by a local or regional artist. Some have been throwing pots for decades. Others are just discovering their voice. But all share a belief that clay is more than a material - it’s a way to connect, to reflect, and to create something lasting.

Thse are the hands and stories behind the work.

Scroll down to meet the makers - and stop by the gallery to experience their work in person.

Spotlight Artists

Laura Hoeke

Maker of mugs, moments, and meaningful messes

Laura came to clay during a time of personal transition, and it quickly became a space for breath, healing, and expression. Some of her earliest pieces — meditative vessels and sculptural forms — still reflect that grounding presence.

Today, Laura shapes more than pottery. As the Owner and director of Brevard Clay, she nurtures a creative space where artists grow, stories are shared, and community is built — one piece, one person at a time.

“Even when I’m not producing much clay work, I’m still creating — shaping this studio, supporting other artists, and helping grow a community where creativity belongs to everyone.”
