Meet The Hoboken Team

Radwa Elalfy
Instructor
Radwa was our first and only handbuilding instructor for over 3 years, joining the studio as our first ever employee in late Summer of 2022. She moved to Texas in the Fall of 2025, and while she’s no longer working at the studio, she’s forever part of the BSP family, and will remain on this page until she makes a piece that isn’t the most stunning thing you’ve ever seen (never).

Myagmarsuren Enkhbayar
Instructor
Myagmarsuren is a Blue Skies DAY ONE. She was the first instructor to join our team and continues teaching several of our courses including our Intermediate/ Advanced classes. One time she showed up to an open studio and very quickly realized why doctors don’t give patients their personal phone numbers. She has been practicing ceramics since she was a kid and currently teaches at several studios from Brooklyn to Hoboken.

Mariana Flor
Studio Technician & Instructor
Mariana has been working at Blue Skies since November of 2023, but it’s hard to remember a time before she joined us. She’s a part of the BSP DNA, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have her warmth in the family. What started off as a love for sculpting with air dry clay and creating claymations, flourished into much more. She now teaches kids classes and adult one time classes, passionately helping out others to grow in their ceramics journey as well.

Tim Hsieh
Instructor
The first thing you should know about Tim is that he’s really cool. Tim has been practicing pottery for 18 years and only recently started teaching this past year with us at Blue Skies. He started ceramics to fill class requirements to graduate on time and fell in love with the meditative nature of wheel throwing and being able to manipulate nature. Conversations with Tim may cover epic Lego builds, custom glaze mixing or fun EDM shows. Like I said, he’s really cool.

Amy Leu
Amy Leu is a ceramicist and knitwear designer in New York City. Her love of all things tactile led her to first touch clay in 2023, and she hasn’t stopped since. Most of her work is wheel-thrown and altered off the wheel. She has an affinity for teapots, drawn to the complexity of their many components: clay moisture levels, lid fits, handle comfort, and achieving the perfect pour. It may just be her favorite vessel of all time. In the summer of 2026, Amy joined as an instructor for adult classes at Blue Skies Pottery and is excited to share the humbling practice of clay with her students.

Judy Park
Instructor
Born in Seoul and raised in Atlanta, GA, Judy started ceramics over 15 years ago in high school when looking to find a creative outlet. She joined us at Blue Skies in October as a studio tech and now teaches several of our multi-week courses and intro classes. Between her one-of-a-kind mushroom pieces and reverse time clocks (TIME IS A CONSTRUCT ANYWAY), you don’t even need to read the signature to know a Judy piece. Beyond her classes, Judy also offers workshops such as plaster mold making.

Becky Rose
Becky Hope Rose is a studio potter and ceramics instructor. She first created pottery on a date night in 2015 and quickly became enchanted by the scent of damp clay, the hum of the wheel, and the elemental alchemy of the ceramic process. Since then, she has studied ceramics internationally and has attended workshops & artist residencies in Mexico, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Greece. She views clay as a common thread through spaces, cultures and times.
Becky is also an experienced educator. As a former public school teacher, she feels honored to help people build their creative skills and find joy in the act of making!

Isabel Russell
Isabel grew up in England and studied her BA in fine art in London. Shortly after graduating, she moved to Jersey City to pursue a career in ceramics. After trying out pottery during her bachelors degree, she soon became a clay enthusiast, and ceramics turned into more than just a hobby. Isabel quickly fell in love with the community at Blue Skies and can’t ever imagine a life without making.

Jessica Stolfa
Manager & Instructor
Jessica is a ceramicist and textile artist hailing from New York City. Born and raised in Queens, she has been working with clay for over 10 years and received her BFA with a concentration in ceramics from Queens College. She started out throwing functional ware but has since shifted her focus to building large sculptural work utilizing the wheel.
Jess first joined us at BSP in 2023, and is solely responsible for some of us using the term ‘blorb’. If you could package her laugh it would solve 99% of society’s problems.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with features in Surface Design Journal, Textile Talks, the Sharjah Islamic Arts Festival (2026), and the Tallinn Design Festival (2025).

Brooke Thibodeau
Studio Operations
Brooke was born and raised in North Carolina, and joined us in Hoboken in the Spring of 2022. She was an outstanding Studio Tech and Instructor for almost 2 years before moving back to North Carolina to be closer to family, but we knew that couldn’t end her time with us at BSP. Brooke is currently our only remote Admin; and helps facilitate scheduling, social media outreach, and many other logistics across all three studio locations.
