Our Story
“What made you open a studio?”
Our daughter Aaliyah was born with cerebral palsy. One day her school called to ask if she could play with clay. After her piece was fired, the staff painted her hand, and she loved it. We took her to a paint-your-own-pottery studio to see for ourselves. When I painted her hand, it tickled her so much she laughed so hard it made me cry.
We hope our story and Just Kiln’ Time can inspire other families, especially those with special needs. Our goal is to give your family a safe, great place to escape, relax and explore your creativity. Sadly, our family lost Aaliyah on December 10, 2021. She will be deeply missed by many.
From our family to yours, Chrissy & Dameian
Aaliyah · January 30, 2002 – December 10, 2021
