About me

Hi! I’m Lena Bell, and I'm a potter based in the town of Navarre, Florida. My journey with clay began at Navarre High School, where I first discovered the joy of pottery, molding something beautiful and functional from the simplest materials. That early spark quickly grew into a passion. I continued developing my craft at Pensacola State College, where I immersed myself in ceramics and expanded my technical skills. Wanting to deepen my understanding of the creative world around me, at the same time, I was studying Art History at the University of West Florida. Learning the stories behind art and craft traditions has played a huge role in shaping my own style and artistic voice. Since graduating in May of 2025, I now have my own backyard studio, a peaceful space where I create full-time with my dad.
