About the studio
everyone is a potter!
At Ohana Ceramics, our mission is to provide artists with the tools, knowledge and space to discover their ceramic potential.
Through workshops, classes and memberships, OCS strives to provide a supportive studio environment for the seasoned potters, eager beginners and everyone in between.
Behind the name
Ohana is Hawaiian for family, and family is this studio's core value. It took a family to build this warehouse into what it is today, and this studio will continue to grow its own family, consisting of potters of every age, culture and background.
our facility
Our 4,500 square foot studio is equipped with electric wheels, a slab roller, hand building tables, endless tools and a range of glazes that allow you to push the limits of form, texture and color.

I started ceramics in 2021, and pottery has since taken me around the country and world. Family is the most important part of my life, and that's why I created Ohana Ceramics: to foster a new family of artists here in Billings. It’s my goal to help bring together life-long local artists and brand-new beginners through the medium of clay. Ceramic pieces last a long time, but the friendships you make in the studio last even longer.
I have helped over 500 students throw their first pot on the wheel and don't plan on stopping! Teaching is my passion and I'd love to have you in a class!
