Meet Leigh Almeida
Owner of LEA by LEA Pottery
Clay has been part of my story since I was 10 years old, growing up in Maine and discovering the joy of making something beautiful with my hands. Years later, as a mom of two, I returned to the wheel with a deeper purpose: to create a space where others can slow down, connect, and make memories through clay. A space for kids to be able to experience clay for the first time, just as I did many years ago. LEA by LEA Pottery is more than a studio — it’s an invitation to pause, laugh, learn something new, and leave with not just a handmade piece, but a meaningful moment. Every class is small, personal, and welcoming. No crowded studios, no pressure — just clay, creativity, and connection.
For me, pottery isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. Whether it’s a child discovering textures for the first time, a couple on a date night, or a parent making pinch pots with their little one, I want this space to feel like home for your creativity.
