Meet the Team
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.

Owner/Operator
Noemi Dengo
I’ve always loved creating, from music and painting to knitting and baking. When my daughter invited me to try a pottery class, I was instantly hooked. Pottery quickly became a joyful obsession, full of creativity, a few frustrations, and plenty of humbling moments courtesy of the clay gods.
Who knew that later in life I would become a pottery studio owner? But here I am—and I’m loving every minute of it.
Now I’m thrilled to share that joy with others by creating a space where people can come, explore, and make something with their own hands. I can’t wait to see what you create.

Owner/Operator/Teacher
Janna Oliver
I’ve always loved working with my hands and being creative, so I jumped at the opportunity to discover the world of pottery with Kim Press. It quickly became my passion. There is nothing like walking into the studio and smelling that earthy smell of clay and getting lost in a creation at the wheel. I’ve always said that pottery is my therapy. It’s my time to reconnect with the earth and my thoughts while challenging myself to create something new. I am a teacher by trade, so I am thrilled to be able to combine the world of teaching with the world of pottery. I’m happy to be a part of Enkindle’s team.

Art Teacher
Anna Green
I may have gone to school to be an electrical engineer, but my creative side drove me to my first pottery class in 2015… and I was hooked! There is nothing that will teach you more patience and adaptation than pottery. I love throwing porcelain on the wheel, as well as hand building with a variety of different clay bodies. Carving, piercing, sgraffito, nerikomi, and coloring clay are some of my favorite things to do with my work. Working with clay truly has no limits! I’m so excited to teach at Enkindle Pottery Studio and pass this gift on to the next generation of potters. See you at the studio!

Hi! I’m Emily, and I’m thrilled to share my love for pottery with you. I have a BA in Fine Arts from Austin College and years of experience in all the arts and crafts.
I love taking classes and exploring new techniques. My goal is to create a fun and welcoming environment where you can explore and express yourself through clay.
When I’m not in the studio, you can find me hanging out with my dogs, brunching, or taking classes. I can’t wait to embark on this artistic journey with you!

Founder/Previous Owner/Teacher
Kim Press
I like to think of my work as my story. Each piece of art that I make is a feeling, a thought, or a small moment in my life that is screaming to get out. I love that I can make things that are uniquely my own. And in a time where anything you desire can be delivered to your doorstep with the click of a button, I love that I am able to create things that require time to make. To be a maker in a world run by machines is incredibly gratifying. My work is my story. My work is me.
