About the studio

Folsom Studio was founded in 2025 by ceramic artist and educator Malaika Tolford. Tucked inside a renovated 1920s tool factory in Botanical Heights, the space reflects a deep appreciation for craft, history, and place. Shared with a landscape architecture firm run by longtime friends, the studio grew from a desire to make and teach in community.
