About Saltstone Ceramics

Saltstone Ceramics has been a brick-and-mortar studio in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle, WA since 2018. Originally operating out of founder Sarah Steininger Leroux's home, the studio officially opened in September 2018.

Since January 2023, Saltstone Ceramics was purchased by three employees, Samantha Schauer, Jude Mortensen, and Liz Leong. They have worked to foster a community that reflects themselves: Queer, BIPOC, Trans, safe and resilient.

Offering a range of one-day and multi-week classes, Saltstone has options for both experienced potters and those new to clay! The gallery features a regularly rotating stock of handmade goods from both local and international artists with a focus on queer and BIPOC artists in the Seattle area.
