Nathan has a BFA in Sculpture and ceramics from Pacific Lutheran University in 2010 and has been playing and creating in clay ever since! Although he loves many art forms, he can’t get enough of the messy and versatile nature of clay. Nathan loves to experiment with all sorts of clay techniques and methods. He especially enjoys sculptural, large form sectional throwing, slip work, sgraffito, and any firing technique that lets him play with fire - (safely of course!) When not playing with clay, you can find Nathan playing video games, watercolor painting, and spending time with his two young boys and wife. Ask him anything about Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Marvel comics, and Star Wars! He is a self proclaimed superfan and loves all things nerdy!

Jack began wheel throwing at age fourteen in Minnesota and has maintained a dedicated ceramics practice ever since. His work evolved into a blend of organic sculpture and functional wares during his studies at Pacific Lutheran University, where he focused on Environmental Studies and Art. After graduating, Jack pursued teaching roles at Holden Village, in Sydney, Australia, and at private studios in New York. His work continues to develop with a strong sculptural sensibility, emphasizing altered wheel thrown forms that express motion, rhythm, and organic structure.

Morgan Nixon is a multi-medium artist with a love for mentoring. Her journey with ceramics began in high school. She often came in early, stayed late, and skipped class to work on her sculptures, which would eventually earn first-place awards in statewide ceramics competitions. After starting her animation career in Seattle, she found a second passion in mentorship, guiding aspiring animators and celebrating their growth. These dual loves, ceramics and teaching, sparked a dream to become a ceramics instructor. Beyond clay and animation, she enjoys knitting, sewing, painting, figure drawing, printmaking, silversmithing and exploring new art classes to grow her skills and teaching style. Now, she’s excited to blend her passions and give back to the creative community that has shaped her path.

Meg began her pottery journey at 12 years old in a community studio built onto a home in Blossom Hill, CA. As other interests or hobbies came and went, working with clay was the only constant practice. 22+ years later, Meg is a Project Manager by day and is honored to be in Washington's incredible art community. When not playing in mud, Meg enjoys singing Lady Gaga loudly, becoming a Harry Potter loremaster, and playing with her boxer border-collie pup named Deja.

Addy Sechler (they/them) is a multidisciplinary artist interpreting themes of self, magic, time, and the restoration of human experience (grief). Raised between coasts, Addy came back west to Seattle in 2022 after starting their career in Burlington, Vermont.

Along with their work, Addy’s time is spent enjoying other peoples art, studying history, language, and creating new moments of life with loved ones.

Evan was born and raised in the great northwest, and had a childhood unencumbered by technology where together with his friends and younger brother had youthful days full of trees to climb, forts to build, and imaginary battles to wage through the forests near his home. Evan spent much of his career in the hospitality industry where he worked in operations for a family-owned chain of brewpubs, breweries, music venues, historic hotels, and theater pubs in Oregon and Washington many of which are locations that were rehabilitated historical properties; with at least nine of the buildings being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, instilling in Evan a love of all things quirky and weird. Evan joined the 24hr Pottery team in the spring of 2023 and when not present in the studios can be found enjoying the Northwest with friends, unwinding with a video game, immersing himself in a new book, or taking long walks on one of Washington’s many beaches.

We are so excited to bring our love of pottery and artist collaboration to the Seattle area. We are a husband and wife team, opening our first community studio in Redmond, Wa in 2017 - finally marrying Chelsea’s two biggest passions - education and ceramics, Redmond Art Works was born. In 2020 we opened the first Eastside Pottery, built solely to help adults carve time out for themselves with 24hr access, Introduction and specialty workshops to continue fostering each potters creativity and interests. Chelsea found pottery in high school and immediately realized it would be something she needed permanently in her life and wanted to share with others. She attended University of Montana studying Ceramics and Elementary Education. As we’ve grown, Jon has jumped in full heartedly providing all the things Chelsea’s artistic brain lacks. Jon heads business logistics for all our 24hr pottery locations and keeps the studio running with the help of our incredible teaching & leadership team. Jon and Chelsea now spend most their days supporting entrepreneurs throughout North America in opening their own studio or streamlining their current operations to create an even better experience for each community. When they aren't in studio, they are busy chasing their daughters- Avery (5), Riley(5), Ari (1), and their troublemaker Bernese Mtn Dog, Clay. ‍
