about the artist
Anna Grace Ceramics is for the purpose of making beautiful + timeless things out of clay. To mirror the imagery of God—the Potter Most High—molding his children is a reminder of our good Creator. Clay takes time and intentionality in the process, just as the Lord molds + shapes us each day. We are the work of his hand.
Anna Reding
I began my pottery journey in high school at Central Academy in Des Moines, IA. I never considered myself to be creative, but I tried out the throwing class offered for fun. Three years of the program wasn’t enough, so I declared an Art Major at the University of Northern Iowa to continue my ceramics journey. I studied Studio Art and Marketing while starting my small business in college. I launched Anna Grace Creates as an Etsy shop in 2021 and used the profits to purchase a pottery wheel that year. I went on to have a home studio during my summer breaks and sold in local markets. I finished my degree in 2023 and launched the new name, Anna Grace Ceramics, as a full-time ceramic business in Salt Lake City.
