Kayla Kirk combines her artistic skill and love for teaching as the owner of Charmed Ceramics, located at 23 N Huron St. in Toledo, Ohio. As part of the vibrant Huron Street Studios art collective, Kirk crafts handmade ceramic pieces for the home and offers pottery workshops and classes to the public, inviting everyone to experience the joy of creating with clay.

In 2017, Kayla graduated from the University of Toledo with a BFA in Sculpture and a BA in Art History. She began her visual arts career as a pottery decorator for The Henry Ford Museum’s Greenfield Village. Kayla used her days off to teach herself the basics of functional pottery in a makeshift studio in her basement. This endeavor lead her to a teaching and Production Potter position at Detroit's historic Pewabic Pottery. Kayla immersed herself in a rich tradition of handcrafted ceramics, where every piece she created contributed to a legacy of artistry and excellence.

Kayla’s work is guided by personal narrative and energized by the magical transformation of raw clay into fine art. She explores the boundlessness of form, texture, and color to craft pieces that exude whimsy, humanity, and organic joy with an appreciation for interconnections with nature.

Stop by the Huron Street Studios Gallery Wednesday - Saturday 12-4pm to view and shop the on-hand collection of pottery handcrafted by Kayla Kirk.
