Homes For Rent In Lexington Ky

Seize the Clay

Lexington, KY - When Link Henderson started taking clay classes at the Lexington Art League just over a decade ago, she didn't foresee that in 10-years time she would be administering one of the largest pottery studios and distribution centers for ceramic supplies in the state. What started as a creative outlet for the recent art school graduate soon became a teaching opportunity when her instructor, who was moving, mentioned she was looking for a replacement. Henderson took over that position, but ran into a wall when the art league needed to close the Loudoun House basement, where the classes were held, for renovations in 2001.

"They were putting everything into storage for their renovation, and I was like, 'I have 30 students, I need to find a space,'" Henderson remembers. It had occurred to her that it was something she could turn into a pretty good business. "I always wanted to own my own business, I just didn't know what I wanted to do (before then)."

Henderson found a 1,000 square foot studio on Saunier Avenue downtown, where she taught eight-week pottery courses and made and sold her own pots. As a new business owner with no partners and no business background to draw from, the first couple of years were trying – the cash flow only came in once every two months, when new classes would start, and Henderson soon realized she was limited by the small space. At the same time, she was increasingly plagued by the lack of ceramic suppliers in the state, having to make regular trips to Cincinnati to get materials for the studio. The culmination of these factors led her to write a business plan, take out a small loan, and move to a new, larger location on Jefferson Street, where she could dabble in distributing supplies as well as nurture her budding art and teaching careers. While the business was steady and growing – during that time, she was able to hire Brandi West, who continues to manage the studio – Henderson knew in the back of her mind that her studio was not in its final resting place.

"Jefferson Street was nice, but it was a little more run-down back then," she said. "Not all the parents felt comfortable bringing their kids down there. It was a cool space, but it wasn't the right space."

In 2005, Henderson stumbled across a space for rent on National Avenue.
