Founded in 2025 by ceramic artist and longtime social worker Jaime Bliss, Bliss Pottery House is built on the belief that creativity and connection go hand in hand. What began as a personal return to art during the isolation of the pandemic has grown into a warm, welcoming studio where clay becomes a pathway to presence, resilience, and community. Blending her 25 years of experience in social work with her passion for pottery, Jaime created a space dedicated to mindful making, shared support, and the joy of learning together. Bliss Pottery House is more than a studio—it’s a community rooted in creativity, compassion, and authentic human connection.

After working for 25 years as a social worker, I founded Bliss Pottery House in 2025. My career taught me the importance of human connection and validation—a basic human need that's vital for emotional health and well-being. When the pandemic hit, I found myself turning to art again. Pottery became my sanctuary, offering a tactile way to de-stress and find presence in the moment.

My ceramic practice is driven by an attraction to organic shapes and textures. I use clay's innate material properties to explore experimental forms, focusing on how volume and surface application can tell a story or introduce an element of the whimsical and unexpected.
With a background in mixed-media sculpture, I am currently challenging my wheel-throwing practice by working at a larger scale and intentionally expanding the vocabulary of my forms and surface treatments. This current body of work is a reflection of that journey and an effort to synthesize my sculptural foundation with the fluidity of wheel thrown ceramics.

My work is grounded in forms and colors that adopt the primitive spirit of pottery and the terrestrial essence of nature. I aim to establish unity between color, texture and the claybody so they compliment each other in a soothing peaceful manner that brings a soft organic beauty into the home.
