Doing Dishes Pottery Studios Who we are

Meet the staffKatie and Brian are the proud owners of both Doing Dishes locations. During college and while employed with the State of Florida, Katie developed a love for painting pottery and was a regular at two studios in Orlando and Deland, FL. Katie worked for the State of Florida for six years after graduating from Stetson University. After moving back to Jacksonville to be closer with her family, she decided to make a change in her life and wanted to open this studio. Doing Dishes San Jose opened on July 21, 2004.Katie and Brian were married in October 2005 and welcomed a daughter, Reagan, in December 2006. In October 2008, Katie decided that it wasn't enought, just raising a 2 year old and running 1 studio. She and Brian purchased Achy Breaky Ceramics at the end of October 2008. Achy Breaky was officially opened as a Doing Dishes Pottery Studio on November 4th. We recently decided that we had outgrown our Edgewood Ave. space, so we packed up the studio and moved a mile towards the river to The Historic Shoppes of Avondale. We LOVE our new space and we have lots more to love. We have much better lighting, a larger party room and room to grow. Come see our new space, we love to show off!We are very lucky to have a great staff that love the studio and customers just as much as we do. Some of our staff have been with us for 2-3 years and we are so glad that they enjoy working here and working with you. Please, let us know if you have good or bad service. We want to hear from you.

Katie is the boss and owner of both Doing Dishes locations.
