Red Lodge Clay Center Short Term Artist in Residence- AIA 2025
Stacie’s philosophy of making pottery can be described through the name of her pottery business — Zen Shway Studio. Making pottery is very meditative and relaxing to her and helps her to “find her zen.” Zen is also a nod to her Japanese American heritage. Shway is a slang term for “cool” and she loves to make shway pots that bring joy to others. Shway is also a play on Feng Shui — in that she hopes her pottery helps to bring balance, harmony, and positive energy to its new owners.
