The Studio

Founded by Valli

A space for
authentic expression.

I'm Valli. I trained as an architect, worked in UX, and somewhere along the way found that clay was the most honest material I'd ever worked with. AROO Studio is my attempt to share that — through workshops, through making, through building a community of potters right here in Salem.

Salem has always deserved a space like this. A place to slow down, make something real, and leave with clay on your hands and something you built yourself.
