ABOUT
Our Story
Creative Art & Clay offers a safe and happy place to inspire curiosity and creativity. We strive to deepen the connection between people and art with a variety of programs.
We love to connect with our community an provide an artsy playground for children and adults.
It started as a dream. I have been determined to create space for children, adults and families to connect and have fun through a variety of means. After my kids reached elementary school age, I had more time to focus on creating an outlet for families and adults of all backgrounds. Founding the right place took longer than I thought but in 2022 we moved into this cute little studio, and we love it ever since. We hope that we can inspire and create together!
On a personal Note
I am Maria, and I am the founder of Creative Art & Clay. I am also a dreamer, a community organizer and a mom of two silly kids.
I was born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, a city that will always occupy a special place in my heart. I graduated from Eötvös Lóránd University, a prestigious college in my home country, and moved to New York City shortly after. The big apple was a total culture shock, and the art scene there was something that inspires me ever since.
I ended up at NYU and between classes, I enjoyed the city’s diversity and colorfulness.
I moved to the San Francisco Bay area in 2014 and settled down in Walnut Creek. I instantly fell in love with the city and the community. The outdoors and the positivity that surrounds the Bay Area is something I absolutely love and appreciate.
Dreaming is what makes me move forward but art, creativity, and self- expression are the values that most inspire me.
