Anastasia Gibson, Glory Be Ceramics

Anastasia Gibson is a ceramic artist and the founder of Glory Be Ceramics, a small-batch pottery business rooted in beauty, intention, and everyday ritual. Working primarily with hand-built forms and functional ware, Anastasia creates pieces that invite people to slow down, gather, and experience the sacred in ordinary moments.

Now in her seventh year working with clay and her second year running her art as a business, Anastasia’s work is shaped by her life as a mother, wife, and woman of faith. Her aesthetic blends soft, organic forms with warm, neutral palettes and thoughtful details that feel both timeless and deeply personal.

In addition to creating and selling her work, Anastasia hosts pottery painting pop-ups and hand-building workshops throughout her local community, creating spaces where people can connect, create, and rest from the pace of everyday life. Her teaching style emphasizes accessibility, hospitality, and the joy of making something with your hands.

Through Glory Be Ceramics, Anastasia is building a business that is both sustainable and life-giving. One that supports her family, fosters community, and honors creativity as a form of worship and storytelling.

She is currently focused on expanding her workshop offerings, growing her online presence through YouTube and social media, and developing a cohesive product line that reflects her values of simplicity, beauty, and intentional living.
