Our Story

Dish it Out Pottery has been family owned and operated for 25 years and is South Charlotte's premier pottery painting studio!  

​

MEET LAUREN, THE OWNER OF DISH IT OUT POTTERY PAINTING STUDIO!

Hello, pottery enthusiasts! I’m Lauren, the proud new owner of Dish It Out, and I’m thrilled to continue the legacy of creativity and craftsmanship that this studio is known for while also adding my own personal touch to the studio! 

​

MY JOURNEY IN POTTERY

My journey with pottery began over 25 years ago when I made my first little clay sculpture with my Aunt while visiting family. I immediately fell in love with the tactile experience of shaping clay and letting my own artistic eye flow. Since then, I've dedicated countless hours to mastering various techniques, experimenting with glazes, and creating unique pieces that tell a story and hold moments in time. 

​

VISION FOR DIO

As the new owner, my vision for Dish It Out is to create an inspiring and inclusive space where artists of all levels can explore their creativity. Whether you’re a beginner looking to try your hand at the a new technique for the first time or an experienced painter seeking to refine your skills, you'll find a welcoming community and all the resources you need here. I am also a mom of 3 and know as a mom there is nothing more precious and meaningful than seeing tiny hands that are set in time for years to come well after those once little hands are grown. We have new concepts  like Clay Hand Impressions coming soon! 

​

GET IN TOUCH

I’m excited to continue meeting all of you and see the incredible creations you'll bring to life. Feel free to drop by the studio, join a class, or just say hello. Let’s shape something new and beautiful together!

Warm regards,

 

Lauren Atkinson
