"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." - Helen Keller
Jon and Chelsea Sherman started 24hr Pottery with a vision of creating a unique community space that offers the flexibility and accessibility often missing in traditional pottery studios. They identified a gap in the market for a pottery space that caters to busy, modern lifestyles—particularly for tech workers, parents, and people seeking self-care who may struggle to find time during regular business hours. Recognizing a demand for 24-hour access and community-oriented creative outlets, they launched 24hr Pottery expanding to multiple cities throughout the Pacific Northwest.
The passion for watching entrepreneurs passionately pursue their dreams, especially when they see others ignited by the same drive to create something meaningful. As founders of 24hr Pottery, they've not only experienced the challenges of building a community art school, but multiple 24hr Pottery locations across the Pacific Northwest. Their journey has given them the unique opportunity to pass on their knowledge to others who are eager to replicate the success of their member-based pottery studio model.
24hr Pottery aspires to support studio owners, helping them avoid common pitfalls while empowering them to build their own businesses. They find immense fulfillment in seeing fellow entrepreneurs flourish, knowing that they’re not just teaching the mechanics of running a studio, but instilling the values of community-building, creativity, and sustainability. By sharing their expertise, 24hr Pottery aims to create a ripple effect of impact, where each new studio can help foster deeper connections and support for local communities, just as 24hr Pottery has done for so many. Their passion lies in making these dreams achievable for others and contributing to a broader movement of entrepreneurial growth in the arts.
