My Story

HOW IT ALL STARTED

Like a lot of people, I used the pandemic to reconnect with what brings me joy - family, friends, art, dogs, and yes… Chipotle.

I wanted to find a hands‑on creative hobby for my mental health, and after trying a few things, I picked up some clay and I was instantly hooked.

My first pairs were Christmas gifts, made using tools I found around my apartment: a drinking glass, a golf ball, and perfume tops.

I’ve upgraded my tools since then, but those scrappy beginnings taught me so much and made me love this craft even more.

IT'S ME: KELSEY WITH KLC

People sometimes ask, “KLC? What’s that mean?”

Well, it’s a little nod to my first name, my middle name, and the material I work with - which also happens to be my brother's name! And honestly, if you say “KLC” fast enough, it basically is “Kelsey.”

When I’m not clickity-clacking away at my day job or making earrings, you can find me supporting my boyfriend with his rug tufting business @floorgallery_, hanging out at local artisan shows, eating Chipotle on Thursdays, playing with Billie and Glo (our pups), at a CNU sporting event, or at The Haus on Market - a creative studio in Petersburg!

Let's connect, I can't wait to make something for you!
