ABOUT UNIT65
My brand UNIT65 is a ceramic studio in Seattle, Washington where everything is handcrafted by me, Kelsey Ayala. The name comes from my first apartment while living in San Francisco at 18. My roommate and I called it Unit65 rather than apartment #65 ; and it was there that I adopted the name as my artist alter ego. I previously worked as a stylist in New York, where I craved a more tangible creative outlet and picked up ceramics as a hobby at a local studio. When the pandemic hit in 2020, all my work in the fashion industry stopped indefinitely and I luckily had ceramics as a hobby to keep me sane. After making the leap to Seattle and entering parenthood, I set up my own ceramic studio out of my garage, allowing me to create a business that allowed me to be creative and spend time at home with my daughter. My studio and work draws inspiration from things like life experiences, traveling, street art, and music - showing that inspiration can be found anywhere. Clays are made from scratch and colored by hand before drying them out and marbling into patterns. Every batch tells a story and no two pieces are alike. The only thing more fun than creating is sharing my love of art with others! If you are interested in learning with me check out my workshops or schedule a private party! xx
