Where for many of us covid was a dark time, this cat found her passion for pottery!

Fig must have loved COVID-19, because it meant her mom was with her the whole day and each day included making pottery! Fig even has her own chair next to the pottery wheel. From there she would stare at her mom’s work and have her go at it now and then. Oh, she loves the mess! All the water and clay pieces flying around are a dream come true.

Their collaborative art started when Meg left her imprint on the works of art she created. And when Fig saw the finished work she always looked proud – “Hey ma, look what we made!”. Soon the online customers started requesting ceramics Fig helped with, and they left her special input on each. Promoting this cat who loves pottery to studio assistant.
