Who We Are
Gena Mavuli | Founder
Create and JP Clay are owned by Roslindale/Boston resident and artist Gena Mavuli. She’s most at home with her hands in clay or stoking a kiln fire deep into the night. Her ceramics practice, and her life practice, is all about experience and experimentation which is evident in the range of her work. She holds these spaces for the community to explore with freedom and joy, with an eye on the experience more than results.
Jenn Baldvins | Instructor
Jenn is an experienced Art Educator with 15+ years of teaching experience with diverse learners. She is passionate about creating engaging art experiences and expanding her own ceramics practice.
Angela Caldarone | Lead Instructor and Events Coordinator
Angela Caldarone specializes in teaching early-stage potters with a skill for launching students into their own practice. Her own work focusses on skilled craftsmanship and imagery in her pieces. Angela holds a BA in Ceramics and has been with us at Create since 2022.
Gustavo Tavares Barceloni | Instructor
Gustavo is an Allston-based Brazilian artist, educator, and activist. He holds a BFA in ceramics from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and a M.Ed from the University of Massachusetts Boston. Gustavo creates illustrative tableware, participatory installations, and community-based projects that promote working class power against capitalism. His work also explores and represents the Brazilian immigrant experience. Gustavo uses his education and experience to document our history, inspire the next generation, and build a liberated socialist future. In his free time he can be found foraging plants and mushrooms to share its medicine, food, and lessons.
