Community Art engagement
Community is at the center of everything we do. We partner with local organizations and events to create welcoming, hands-on experiences that bring people together. No pressure, no perfection—just connection, creativity, and curiosity.

Curiouser Clay is a mobile clay studio with a cozy home studio, too—where play comes first and there’s no pressure to get it “right.”
Join us at our place, find us out in the community, or invite us to bring the workshop to you. In two hours, you’ll try something new, make something entirely your own, and enjoy a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. No experience needed—just bring your curiosity.
Meet Eli Zemper

Eli is a community arts facilitator, artist, and creative activist whose work lives at the intersection of art, access, and belonging. As the founder of Curiouser Clay, she creates mobile, hands-on ceramics experiences that invite people into play, connection, and shared making.
With a background spanning over two decades in education, experiential design, and community facilitation, Eli is driven by a commitment to creative equity—designing spaces where all people, particularly those historically excluded from arts access, can participate, lead, and be seen.
She is also the founder of Moxie Works, a nonprofit initiative building inclusive studio environments for artists with diverse abilities. Whether through pop-ups, workshops, or large-scale community projects, Eli’s work asks a simple question: what becomes possible when everyone is invited to the table?
