I found Rachelle after searching high and low for a place to do pottery. Rachelle responded quickly to my questions, and during my first six week class, I find that she is a great teacher, patient with all the students, and her spirit soars. She is a positive influence for my creativity, and the clay soothes my soul. I have found my Happy Place at Marvelous Mud Pottery.

After big changes in my life I was forced to stop marking art. Emotional and financial hardship let me with no time or motivation. 6 months ago I moved to Polk County and started looking for a creative group to belong too. And I stumbled with Rachelle's ad on instagram and just knew right there I had to try it. I am so overly thankful for this. I really different mediums but I like clay the most. Thank you Rachelle for what you do and given us the chance to 'belong'.
