About AT Pottery LLC
Meet Anneka
Grounded in Clay. Guided by Intention.
I’m Anneka Thomas—educator, mother, creative, and founder of AT Pottery LLC.For me, pottery is more than just a craft. It’s a way of slowing down, listening inward, and shaping something meaningful; both in clay and in life. What began as a creative outlet has grown into a deeply mindful practice and now, a purposeful business.
My journey with clay started over a decade ago, but it wasn’t until recently; between raising my two young boys and growing through seasons of change, that I returned to the wheel with fresh eyes. This time, not just to make, but to feel more connected, present, and alive.
Today, my studio lives in our garage in North Carolina. It’s a humble space filled with movement, mess, and magic. I create small-batch stoneware pieces inspired by earthy tones, layered glazes, and the beauty of imperfection. I’m particularly drawn to techniques like marbling, sgraffito and glaze layering, where no two pieces are ever alike, just like our paths in life.
But this work is more than just clay. It’s about people.Through hands-on workshops and mindful making sessions, I help others reconnect with themselves, with their teams, and with the creative spark that lives within us all.
Whether you're joining me for a corporate team event, a personal growth session, or simply browsing the shop, my hope is the same: that you leave feeling more grounded, more centered, and a little more in touch with your own rhythm.
Thank you for being here. I’m so glad our paths have crossed.—Anneka
