Welcome to From Dirt Studios, where chaos and hard work are part of the magic. My name is Blake, and I started From Dirt Studios (formerly The Cardinal) with a passion for making things from nothing, for turning raw materials into something that brings joy, beauty, and a bit of fun into people’s lives.

At From Dirt Studios, every piece of handmade ceramic tableware, every wood-turned bowl, and every hand-carved spoon comes with a story. It’s a story of dirty hands, making a mess, and a lot of love. The wood, the clay, and all other materials I might experiment with—they all come from the earth, and through a bit of chaos and creativity, they become something special.

I believe in getting my hands dirty, literally and figuratively. I’m self-taught, and every day I push myself to create something bigger than I am—something that might make someone smile, or pause, or feel a connection. My work is intentional, but it’s also full of character.

This is more than just a studio; it’s a place where I experiment, play, and create with intention. Whether it’s ceramics, woodwork, or other medias I plan to dive into, From Dirt Studios is all about the joy of creation. It’s about starting from nothing and building something original, something that feels like home, something that matters.

So if you’re someone who appreciates the beauty in the mess, the art in the everyday, and the magic in the dirt, then you’re in the right place. Welcome to From Dirt Studios.
