Chelsea artist Eli Zemper uses her mobile studio, Curiouser Clay, to bring pottery workshops to rural areas and recently received a $15,000 grant that will add new pottery wheels & community classes in July.

She has served over 8,500 people since 2020 by holding workshops in her garage and at local venues.
