About Us
LARA and JOE
Lollies Pottery began as a creative adventure when we became empty nesters and found ourselves with extra time—and a lot less laundry. Joe took to the wheel, throwing pots with the enthusiasm of a man discovering his inner ceramicist. Lara prefers to hand build, adding detail, texture, and her signature touch to each piece before glazing it to perfection. It’s a messy, magical partnership that keeps us grounded—literally. Big Willy Pottery is our cheeky side hustle, where whimsy meets craftsmanship and no two pieces (or days) are ever quite the same.
FISH
And then there’s Fish—our studio supervisor, emotional support sponge, and expert in tracking clay paw prints across the house. While she doesn’t throw pots (yet), she’s the heart of the operation, always nearby to offer a tail wag, a well-timed bark, or a reminder that it’s time for a walk, not just “one more glaze."
STACY and SOPHIE
We are also lucky to have Lara’s sister, Stacy, as our very first employee and number one sales associate. Stacy brings unmatched enthusiasm, strong opinions, and the kind of sales energy that makes people wonder whether they came to browse pottery or accidentally joined her fan club.
Sophie serves as our number one social influencer and Chief Marketing Officer, a title she earned by expertly liking posts, hyping the pottery, and making everything look cooler than we ever could. Her official duties include boosting morale, approving the vibe, and reminding us that if it is not on social media, did it even happen?
