Meet the Founder
Denise Vanderkooi
Founder & Curator of the Space
After more than 20 years in healthcare, clay became a counterbalance—quiet, grounding, and deeply satisfying. It offered a slower pace, a chance to work with the hands, follow curiosity, and create something meaningful.
Cone 6 YYC Pottery Studio grew from that experience.
We are a small, community-centered studio. Whether you're touching clay for the first time or continuing an established practice, you'll find a welcoming space to explore at your own pace.
As Cone 6 YYC evolves, we are also exploring wellness programming, such as yoga as a complementary offering. While clay remains at the heart of the studio, both practices encourage us to slow down, be present, and reconnect.
