Meet Alex

My studio is my garage—a space filled with clay dust, horror movies, and the occasional jay (because what’s glazing without a little blaze?). A typical day starts with trimming yesterday’s work, followed by weighing, wedging, and throwing clay for new pieces. Glaze days are all about cutting vinyl stencils, choosing colors, and bringing my designs to life.

Pottery isn’t all smooth sailing. Balancing online growth with in-person market success is tricky, especially since Arizona market season is so short. But connecting with people who get my work makes it worth every late night and cracked pot.

But, enough about me. Who’s Cheeky Clay For?

I create for bold gals (or anyone who likes girly pop shit), quirky couples, and those who love color & maximalist design. Whether you’re sipping coffee from a snarky mug or planting in a retro-inspired pot, my pieces are designed to bring comfort and joy to your everyday life. Bonus: Most are microwave and dishwasher-safe because I know you’re a busy bitch like me.

Hi, I’m Alex! AKA the dry, cracked-little hands and warm(ish) heart behind Cheeky Clay! Based in sunny Arizona, I create playful, practical pottery that’s as functional as it is fabulous.

My work blends girly, cutesy aesthetics with everyday usability—think vibrant designs, snarky slogans, and pieces that bring a pop of personality to your daily routine.
