John Ruiz — founder of Spirit Tree Ceramics

The Maker Behind the Clay

Hi, I'm John Ruiz — Emory Pottery Artist

I discovered clay in 2022, and everything changed. Clay is an ancient teacher — it slows you down, pulls you into the present, and gives something back every time you show up for it.

Spirit Tree Ceramics is a collection of handmade functional art and fine stoneware fired with intention in my Emory studio, designed to bring the grounding essence of raw clay into your everyday life.
