Meet the Team
Liz Welch
she/they
Liz is the founder of Anyhow Studio, instructor, and maker of mugs with extra long handles. She loves creative community, popcorn, naps, and the ocean.
Mary Drake
Studio Manager, Instructor
she/her
Mary is a ceramic artist and instructor and heads up all of the daily operations here at the studio. From scheduling studio monitors to reclaiming clay, this gal does it all.
If you’re lucky enough to be in Mary’s orbit, then you know that she’s also a prolific baker. We asked Mary what her favorite dessert is and here’s what she said:
“A warm chocolate lava cake with good vanilla ice cream.” Close seconds are crème brûlée and pumpkin pie.
Alex Hoffman
Studio Technician
they/he
Alex graduated from RISD with a degree in sculpture and has a real soft spot for ceramics. They are a lover of film, objects that tell a story, every single color (do NOT make them choose), and gnomes.
We asked Alex about their favorite place in Rhode Island and they said:
“I love the whole goddamn state of Rhode Island!”
We couldn’t agree more.
Daisy
Human Resources
Cashew
Sniffing + Receiving
Arguably, the studio’s two most valuable employees, Cashew and Daisy both have a passion for clay, belly rubs, and eating garbage.
