In early 2023 I had a desire to find a hobby as a form of “self love” and time dedicated to myself. I knew I had a passion for staging and interior design that I had yet to explore, so I decided to sign up for a pottery class at Clay Play & Arts in Los Angeles. I quickly fell in love with the beauty of the art and became a member of the studio where I practiced throwing and spent a majority of my free time. It became a beautiful space for me to express myself and to really bring light to my creative side. I loved the beauty of each unique piece and being able to add a touch of something I made to my families and friends home felt so special to me.

Later that year, my lash tech Nadia handmade me a candle as a Christmas gift in a beautiful glass shaped bowl. Finding a candle that not only smells delicious, but also complements your home is so difficult and I was so impressed that her candle had both touches. This led me to the idea of creating Touch of Pottery. From hand poured luxurious smelling candles, to beautiful timeless pieces designed in house or sourced from truly the best. Here we combine all forms of beauty to elevate your home.

I hope you love your decor as much as I love sourcing + making them for you. Thank you for being apart of my journey and remember beauty can rise even from difficult times.

with all my love,

Marissa Albano creator of Touch of Pottery
