Tessa is a wife and mother of five (yes 5!) kids and has been married 20 years to the love her life, Chris. She spent most of her adult career in advertising and marketing. From a start up that became Google’s largest international advertising partner, to marketing leadership of a 250-franchise organization. As a life-long creative, art has always been part of Tessa’s life. As an adult, Tessa experienced ceramics for the first time and noticed a physiological change in her body and a calm in her mind and immediately knew this was something special that everyone needed to experience.
The ClayGround was her brainchild and was built from the ground up. She took a leap of faith, left “Corporate America” and dove head first on passion and prayers. Three locations later, Tessa admits the jump was scary but she would do it all over again.
You’ll find Tessa floating through all three studio locations, serving in the community and willing to talk about the importance of creativity for mental health in today’s unpredictable world.
In addition to ceramics, Tessa is also an oil painter and encaustic artists. Learn more about her personal artwork here: https://www.tiktok.com/@tessahall_art?_t=ZP-90cydodIP5b&_r=1
