Ford City Potters is the brainchild of two passionate local potters, Gisele Bick and Lisa Gabriele. They both discovered pottery in high school, under the mentorship of legendary art teacher, Jerry Jarecki. They took different paths back to pottery, Gisele eventually becoming a local teacher and artisan, who helped Lisa rediscover clay through one of her classes.
Their goal is to create a warm, inspiring space, in Ford City, Windsor’s most dynamic neighborhood, where makers of every skill level can immerse themselves in the fun, challenging and therapeutic art of pottery.
