Anthea Brown
Instructor
Anthea (aka ASBfromJerz) is a potter, painter, and poet based at the Jersey Shore. She started playing in clay at the age of 15, and is a Cum Laude graduate of Monmouth University with a BA in Art, having recently earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College. If she's not on the wheel, you can find her on stages in NYC and NJ performing her poetry. When people talk about ‘go with the flow’ they’re talking about Anthea. She is the flow. Or the go. IYKYK.

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.

Nicole Gonzalez
Studio Technician
Nicole has been practicing pottery for 3 years, primarily handbuilding small clowns, while also throwing as well.
She joined us at the beginning of 2025, and her hard work around the studio helps keeps everything organized while her kindness helps make everyone feel welcomed.

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.

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.

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.

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.
