Puppet Strings Clay Co. started as a side hustle back in 2018. Of course, it wasn’t a side hustle at first. For Alanna it began as a type of therapy after having her first child. One class and she was hooked - she’s been in the studio ever since. After 10 years of working behind a screen as a Graphic Designer and artist, she decided it was time to pursue her passion in ceramics full time in 2023. Since then, it’s been a non stop ride from teaching classes to attending shows and festivals to sell her work.

Alanna focuses on bringing a fun and whimsical aesthetic to her pieces, inspired by the culture and soul of the jamband scene which she has immersed herself in for over 15 years
