Meet the potter

Welcome! My name is Wyett Imperati, and I am the owner of The Potter’s Friend Studio.

I have been creating ceramics for thirteen years, beginning in my freshman year of high school! Growing up, I had always been searching for my life's calling, but I had never really found it until I started making pottery. I had tried everything under the sun; singing, sewing, you name it, and I’ve most likely tried it, but nothing ever felt right, except creating pottery.

I had taken a hiatus from creating pottery for about four years. I had taken a step back to focus on my career, climbing the corporate ladder to be “successful”, yet my mental health deteriorated tremendously. I was in a dark place during this time, yet one light had shone through it all. That light was my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He had carried me out of darkness and into His light, guiding me back to where I felt I belonged: creating.

I had gone through many trials and tribulations during this time, trudging through the mud (pun intended), searching for what felt right, when all along He was what I needed most. He found me in the darkest of my days, covered in mud, and yet He saw me for who I am—His child. He wiped me clean of every doubt, every worry, every struggle, every iniquity, and made me whole. He reignited my passions, gave me a new sense of hope, and a new sense of belonging.

He gave me a new trajectory in life, delivering me from things I never would have imagined. From major depression and anxiety to despair and discomfort, He renewed me. He provided for me in ways I never imagined. He showed up for me when I couldn’t show up for myself. His faithfulness is unwavering, His love is unmatched. Ask Him to show you Himself and His power, He’ll do it!

As I create each piece, I offer it as a form of worship and prayer, inviting Him to join me as He is the true Potter, the One who has molded each one of us to perfection in Him. Each piece is made with love and gratitude for the abundant and life-changing alterations He has made in me. I pray each piece will exude a glimmer of what His Kingdom holds, bringing a piece of Heaven down to earth.

Romans 8:28

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”

John 3:21

“But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”
