Maddie Ortiz
Clay Artist | Kids Instructor
Maddie ended up at MudClay studio because after taking 1 ceramics class at her college, Drew University, she wanted more! She is passionate about working with kids. Since then, Maddie has been working summer camp and other kids events since 2022. Her favorite part about summer camp is glazing projects on the last day of camp!
Maddie loves working with clay because of how therapeutic it is. She loves squishing clay into different shapes and using texture! Maddie also loves making super large ceramic sculptures. Maddie loves hand building and is still building on her wheel throwing skills. She’s currently obsessed with making large cobblestone houses!
Her favorite part about being in a clay community is how welcoming and supportive the fellow clay addicts are! The members are always so nice and welcoming whenever she is in the studio.
Maddie studied Music and Art during her undergraduate at Drew University, and will graduate with a Masters in Teaching in 2025! She hopes to be a public music or art teacher.
