Meet Sharon Art Studio member and student Candice Moy. She has been coming to the studio since 2017 and has been taking classes in ceramics. We recently interviewed Candice for our Student Spotlight series. In this interview, Candice Moy discusses with our Program Manager, Cassandra Sechler, her creative process, artist background, passion for ceramics, and her relationship to Sharon Art Studio.
Here’s a sneak peek at a few of the questions!
Q: When/How did you discover your passion for making art? What was your first ceramic art project?
“I did not have any experience working with clay until I was an adult. My first exposure to pottery was throwing on a kickwheel outside the art shack during our annual week of summer family camp at Lair of the Bear. I produced many small “pistachio” bowls. I realized quickly that two or three days of clay a year was not enough.”
Q: What inspires your ceramic designs?
“I enjoy making functional pieces with simple shapes. Edith Heath and many of my Sharon Arts instructors inspire me. I especially love throwing bowls. I call it my bowl therapy because it allows me to focus on mindfulness and tune out any other thoughts.”
Q: What do you love most about Sharon Arts Studio?
“I keep signing up every session because of the community that Sharon Arts fosters. There are not many ceramics studios in San Francisco that have a high fire kiln. The selection of glazes also is unparalleled. My favorite Sharon tradition is the potluck held on the last class each session. Sharon Arts is truly a treasure.”

I recently had to replace glass in house window, and it made a huge difference in insulation. Safety Window Glass Repair looks like a great option for this kind of work.
Beautifully written piece on the creative process. It captures both the struggle and excitement that comes with artistic expression. I appreciated how you explained the flow of ideas so naturally. It reminded me of a blog I came across where https://maydayhoustonlaw.com/ was mentioned in a different context, yet the idea of perspective and process felt connected. This post truly resonates with anyone trying to understand or embrace their own creativity.
A well-designed platform always focuses on simplicity and ease of use. This platform delivers a clean and easy-to-follow interface.

It’s a good choice for those who prefer simplicity.
A friend showed me Sprunki the other day and I got completely hooked on the music mixing aspect. You drag characters around and they each add a different sound layer. Pretty creative concept and surprisingly relaxing once you get into it.
Her mention of "bowl therapy" really resonates. There is something uniquely meditative about the symmetry of throwing on a wheel that forces you to be present. Plus, finding a studio in SF with a high-fire kiln and a wide glaze selection is like hitting the jackpot for any ceramicist. This Squido AI is such a nice thing.
