Mugs by JQ Clay

Jacquie Conine is a potter and artist who grew up in Stratford and lives now with her own family in Shelton, Conn. "On and off my whole life I have been toiling with clay and many other artistic mediums," she says. "I left the nursing workforce in October 2021 to join the 'artforce' to chase my dreams full time. in my own small business." 

Jacquie has shared her pottery with the Greiser's community for several years now -- in our shop, on our cupboard, and at our craft shows. She won a Women's Business Development Council Ignite Grant the same year Greiser's did, and celebrates 5 years in business in 2026.
