Owner and Founder Gabriela Mariana Angulo is a ceramic artist and educator. With a degree in Ceramics and Visual Arts from Artes del Fuego College in her native Argentina, she subsequently became a professor, teaching pottery for 10 years. She sold her creations throughout Argentina, earning a stellar reputation as a well-known and highly respected ceramist with a thriving business.

Moving to Toronto in 2010, she faced initial struggles due to her lack of English proficiency. Despite this challenge, she was determined to learn and enrolled in language classes while her daughter attended preschool programs. She persisted until she could effectively communicate with others.

After a couple of years, when she felt confident in her language skills, she began sharing the art of pottery and artistic expression with her daughter's classmates. Her love and passion for the craft inspired her to establish Clay With Me, initially operating from her kitchen. 

Every day, Gaby reminds us that we pursue this path out of love and conviction. She infuses pottery with fun and unexpected elements, fostering optimism for the possibilities that lie ahead for us all.
