The artist

Corey Kraft is the artist behind Proudly Krafted, a queer-owned ceramic studio based in North Hollywood. Known for bold, hand-carved pottery, Corey specializes in sgraffito—a technique where designs are etched into layers of colored slip to reveal the clay beneath. Every piece tells a story, blending earthy textures with cheeky personality and a whole lotta pride.

From intimate workshops to local pop-ups, Corey shares the magic of ceramics with the community—inviting folks to get their hands dirty and their spirits lifted. Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind mug or a plate you carved yourself at a Scratch & Sip, Proudly Krafted is all about turning everyday moments into functional, joyful art.
