Hi - I’m Mary, artist, educator, and founder of Cozi Craft Studio.

For as long as I can remember, art has been a way I connect to myself and to others. In college, my favorite place on campus was the pottery studio, a light-filled communal space. I spent enough time there to earn a minor in Studio Art (along with some intro drawing and watercolor classes). After graduating, I joined a pottery studio in Boston that became my creative home: a place for making, slowing down, connection, and calm. Over the years, I’ve continued to explore many mediums, from pottery and printmaking to fiber arts and watercolor. The thing is - I’m not an expert at any one medium. And for me, that’s a big part in what I do, because I’m not that different than you. My goal is to show you, you can do this too - whether your motive is having a bit of fun, meeting new people, carving out some R&R time, or learning a new skill.

Alongside making, I’ve always loved teaching. I grew up teaching a special needs class with my mom every Sunday - each week involved a craft project. Since then, I’ve lectured public health classes, designed GIS map-making programs, taught figure skating lessons, and spent years helping others learn through hands-on, encouraging instruction. That love of teaching is at the heart of every Cozi Craft workshop.
