Well, hello!

My name is Stephanie Parks (Montemurro) and I am the founder behind Dead Potters Society.

I graduated college in 2013 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. During college, I was able to explore other mediums such as metalworking and bookmaking as well as study art history, focusing on ancient civilizations.

After years of experimenting with various mediums, playing with clay takes the (mud)cake.

Inspiration behind the studio

I believe that everyone deserves to collect treasured pieces that tell a story, adding a sense of warmth, uniqueness and authenticity to your home. I create a wide variety of items from functional ware to decorative items—I've got something for everyone!

Each creation is meticulously crafted, and handmade in small batches in my home studio in Phoenix, Arizona. 🌵

What's with the name?

Like the movie of a very similar title, it’s about appreciating the arts and history, our humanity, and living life in a way that makes it #worthit
