The Tiny Co Pottery Story
What started as a casual afternoon class quickly turned into a full-blown pottery journey for Morgan, founder of Tiny Co Pottery. In this episode, she shares how a spontaneous workshop opened the door to a creative life rooted in intention, values, and community.
Morgan walks us through the transition from dental hygienist to potter, how she unexpectedly found herself buying a kiln, and the decision to let her hobby evolve into a business. We talk about the challenges of pricing art, working from home, and setting boundaries as a creative and a parent.
Grounded in the legacy of her great-grandmother—“Tiny”—Morgan shares how family, faith, and generosity shape her work, her business decisions, and her definition of success. We also talk about the slow, meditative nature of pottery, letting go of the “growth at all costs” mindset, and why sometimes, small is just right.
Morgan’s work is personal, functional, and full of heart. She reminds us that rural doesn’t mean limited—it means connected, supported, and deeply rooted.
