EMBRACE IMPERFECTION
Hand-Building Pottery & Art Studio
Focused exclusively on hand-building classes, the studio embodies the mindset of embracing imperfection and telling a unique story. More than just a creative space, Santos Studio is where I combine my passion for pottery with the goal of helping others find peace of mind through artistic expression. While I’m not a ceramicist, I believe in passing my knowledge forward with a collaborative, "let’s do this together" spirit. Here, craftsmanship meets simplicity, and every creation is a reflection of the beauty in both art and life.
A Journey of Healing through Pottery and Art
by Caroline Santos
My name is Caroline, and my journey began when I moved to Canada in 2017, seeking new opportunities and fulfillment. Like many immigrants, I found myself navigating through various jobs that left me feeling disconnected from my true passions.
​
In 2022, I discovered pottery—a craft that allowed me to channel my energy into something tangible, grounding, and beautiful. As I shaped clay, I realized I was also reshaping parts of myself, finding peace in the imperfections and embracing the freedom of artistic expression. Santos Studio was created to share this experience, offering others a place to heal, explore creativity, and find community.
​
Our studio is a safe and welcoming space for everyone—whether you're here to relax, learn a new skill, or simply take a moment for yourself. Together, we celebrate the beauty of imperfection and the joy of creating something with your hands.​

Though I’m from São Paulo, I’ve always been drawn to the beach and the stunning mountains of Rio de Janeiro. Rio’s natural beauty has profoundly influenced my creative process, shaping both my brand and logo.
