White Lotus Pottery

White Lotus Pottery was founded by Amanda Bartel, a skilled potter and former occupational therapist, who channels her expertise in mindfulness and therapeutic practices into every piece of handmade stoneware. Our studio in College Station, Texas, serves as both a creative hub and a sanctuary where individuals connect with their creativity through wheel-throwing and handbuilding techniques. We emphasize the transformative power of clay, offering classes and studio memberships that foster mental well-being and community engagement. Our functional ceramics are crafted with intention, blending aesthetic beauty with daily utility while reflecting the positive energy of their creation. With over a decade of teaching experience and a commitment to quality, we provide personalized instruction for all skill levels, from introductory workshops to advanced techniques.

Our glazes are formulated in-house using raw chemicals, ensuring unique finishes that highlight the artistry behind each piece. The studio's collaborative environment encourages creativity, with four wheels available for small groups and dedicated spaces for handbuilding projects. We maintain a clean, inclusive atmosphere where makers of all backgrounds can explore their artistic potential. Our work has been featured in local media and podcasts, underscoring our dedication to artistic excellence and community impact. Whether through our handmade products or educational programs, White Lotus Pottery remains committed to sharing the restorative benefits of pottery with our customers and students.
