Meet The Potter

KJO Pottery was founded in Taranaki, NZ in 2019 by me - Kayla O'Connor.

On my website you will be able to book pottery parties and on occasions I will have pottery available to purchase 

Just over 4 years ago I was just a stay at home mother...I felt lost in the role of just being a mother, my children did everything with me and I wanted something for myself! So I decided to do a pottery class, it was a good excuse to get out of the house away from my children to do something just for me, getting adult conversations getting creative and finding myself again.

I didn't even know if I would like pottery but it was worth getting out of the house and having me time again...

Turns out I absolutely love pottery!!! So much it feels like a addiction 🤣🙊.

Pottery has endless learning and i just love that!  

I just constantly want to make new things. 

So here I am now, making pieces for your homes & for all of you to enjoy!

In the last 6months i have added pottery parties as a option which has been so much fun teaching so many different people how to make tumblers, mugs and or bowls.
