About Molly
Welcome!
I'm Molly O'Toole, and this is May, our adorable studio pup. May’s a sweetheart who loves cuddles and will likely be hanging out in the studio during your visit. If you’d prefer a pup-free space, just let me know 24 hours in advance!
I’m a functional ceramic artist, passionate about bringing art into everyday life. I believe there's beauty in the ordinary, and when you add a little art, even the simplest moments become meaningful. Fundamentally, my work infuses daily routines with beauty and purpose.
I first learned ceramics in the 3rd grade and was fortunate to have opportunities that nurtured my interest throughout my childhood and young adult life. In 2024, my beloved hobby became my full-time profession! I now own and operate a ceramics studio in Northeast Minneapolis, where I sell my artwork and offer a welcoming space for classes, events, and community outreach programs.
Merging Social Work and Pottery
In 2018, I graduated with a degree in social work and continue to hold my license. I’m inspired by opportunities to combine my love for ceramics with community outreach. I'm passionate about bringing the therapeutic benefits of art to nursing homes, memory care units, schools, rehab centers, group homes, and more. Working with clay offers countless physical, social, and psychological benefits. I’d love to discuss how pottery can positively impact you and your community’s well-being.
