Hi, I’m Zuzana – the founder of this studio and a lifelong perfectionist.
For years, I led a fast-paced life as a global HR leader and competitive basketball player. I was always busy, always striving, always juggling. Pottery changed everything. It taught me how to slow down, breathe, and be present. It gave me peace – and it gave me a community.
Opening this studio was my leap of faith. I left the corporate world to build a space for people like me – those who are used to doing it all, but who are ready to reconnect with themselves.
This studio is more than just a place to shape clay. It's a space to let go of stress, embrace imperfection, and find joy in the process.
Running this studio gives me purpose. And my hope is that it gives you a little peace in this fast-moving world too.
About me.
The team.
We’re a group of passionate creatives who, like Zuzana, took a step away from the fast lane. A graphic designer, an advertising director, and a project manager — or amateur potters with a shared mission: to slow down, reconnect, and help others do the same.
Here in the studio, perfection isn’t the goal. We value the process over the outcome. Clay teaches us patience, resilience, and the power of letting go — lessons that go far beyond the wheel.
Now, we’re here to share that experience with you. Whether you’re new to pottery or looking to return to a creative practice, you’ll find a warm, welcoming space with us. Come slow down, explore, and rediscover the joy of making with your hands.
Our mission
Heart & Soul Studio was created for all of the busy people who are on the search for a calm and safe space where they can explore pottery. A place that space that provides a break from the crazy world we are living in, offering creativity and personal growth.
Our mission is to let anyone try something new without the pressure of succeeding. We aim to create a community of people who have things in common, who understand and value alone time, but also enjoy meeting like-minded adults who share similar struggles.
