Haley Melcher, a fourth-generation Floridian who started the Tampa Bay brand, aims for a February 2026 debut.<\/p>\n<p>Newcomers and skilled potters alike can use the space. Melcher runs an Intro to Wheel Throwing class and envisions a spot where members shape clay into finished pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Before switching to ceramics full time in 2024, Melcher studied biology. She spent years in marine research, examining native plants and animals.<\/p>\n<p>Her creations pull inspiration from Florida&#8217;s ecosystems.
