Our Story
Founded in 2009, Precosaudi began as a small studio in Nova Scotia with a simple mission: to make the ancient art of clay modeling accessible to everyone. What started as weekend classes for a handful of enthusiasts has grown into Canada's premier destination for clay artistry education.
Our founder, Master Potter Sarah Mitchell, recognized the therapeutic and creative potential of working with clay. With over two decades of experience in ceramic arts, she established our studio to share her passion and expertise with aspiring artists across the country.
Our Mission
