Introduction
Creativity often emerges from unexpected places, and for Zoe Main, the owner of Loam Ceramic Studio, that place was Carlton Landing. In this episode of our podcast, we sit down with Zoe to hear about her journey into pottery, the joys of teaching the craft, and the deeper connections that working with clay can bring.
Zoe’s love for ceramics wasn’t something she always planned. Like many artists, her journey took twists and turns before leading her to Loam Ceramic Studio. She describes how she discovered pottery and how the rhythmic, grounding nature of working with clay became an essential part of her life.
At Carlton Landing, she has found a unique opportunity to share her passion. Teaching pottery isn’t just about technique; it’s about slowing down, embracing imperfections, and reconnecting with the present moment—lessons that extend far beyond the studio walls.
During our conversation, Zoe reflects on the magic of clay:
✅ Mindfulness in Motion – The process of shaping clay requires patience and presence, offering a kind of calming experience.
✅ A Connection to the Earth – Working with natural materials fosters an appreciation for craftsmanship and sustainability.
✅ The Joy of Creating – Whether it’s a simple mug or an intricate vase, making something with your own hands is deeply fulfilling.
Zoe’s studio isn’t just a place to make pottery—it’s a gathering space for creativity and connection. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, Loam Ceramic Studio welcomes all who want to explore the art of clay.
She shares how rewarding it is to see students surprise themselves, overcoming initial hesitation to create something truly their own. Through workshops and classes, Zoe hopes to keep building a creative community in Carlton Landing, where art and everyday life blend seamlessly.
As our conversation wrapped up, Zoe left us with a simple reminder:
"Creativity is in all of us. Sometimes, you just need to get your hands dirty to find it."
