Today we’d like to introduce you to Sarah Glass.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Sarah. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I have always been interested in clay, even since the age of 5 or 6. It wasn’t until I was 13 in the 9th grade at John I. Leonard high school that I began to use the pottery wheel. At the time I was a troubled teen and benefited in many different aspects from making pottery. I fell in love with it and dedicated myself to becoming the best potter I can be. Today I earn a living by selling my own work and teaching both private and group workshops.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It definitely has not been a smooth road, but a rewarding road. I often travel with my wheel (which weighs likely more than I do.) I have been taken advantage of by multiple studios and have had to sustain myself with many side jobs over the years to make things work.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Sarah Glass Ceramics story. Tell us more about the business.
I create stoneware and porcelain wheel thrown vessels for the modern home. I am known for the thinness of my walls in my pottery as well as my experimentation in glaze. I guess you could say what sets me apart from others is that I did not go to art school. I have been increasing knowledge of ceramics on my own for 10 years now.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
The amazing support system I have around me makes me feel especially lucky and as though I cannot fail in anything I want to succeed in. I am also lucky to have two amazing older brothers (both creative hardworking individuals as well) and a mother who has supreme wisdom in so many areas of life including art and business.
