I’m Shaima Ahli, the founder and heart behind Kleos Ceramics Studio. My journey here started long before I opened our doors. With a background in public health, I spent years advocating for community well-being and mental health. But it wasn’t until I discovered pottery in 2013, while learning from a French ceramicist in Montreal, that I found a medium that could combine creativity, mindfulness, and connection in such a powerful way.
