What do I wear to a pottery class?

2026 Rebrand

This year, we rebranded from Abby Seltzer Ceramics to Studio Seltzer!

Why I rebranded:

I named my business “Abby Seltzer Ceramics” in 2020 when I first started working as an apprentice potter. I needed to pick a name for my social media, so I used the simple naming convention of [first] [last] [ceramics]. Now, six years later, my business has grown significantly, and I need a new name that will grow with me into the future!

“Studio Seltzer” is a short, easily rememberable name that I love. It encapsulates the heart of my business: that I make things and I teach others how to make things. And it leaves me plenty of room to grow, even into art forms other than ceramics one day!

I’m so excited to grow with this new name; thanks for coming along for the ride!
