Kara - Karacotta Ceramics
Multi-passionate entrepreneur and ceramicist with a sharp mind for business and big heart for community.
Kara is the designer and artist behind Karacotta Ceramics.
Originally from Wisconsin, Kara grew up exploring the woods, creating with organic materials, and developing a deep appreciation for nature—early influences that continue to shape her work as a potter. Largely self-taught, she first discovered ceramics in a high school art class, reigniting her passion in 2011 through hands-on experimentation and a lifelong creative curiosity.
Beyond Karacotta, Kara’s entrepreneurial journey spans industries—she has co-founded a software company, run a yoga studio, helped launch the Austin maker collaborative Broad Studios, and even built and sold a significant property management business. Drawing from this diverse experience, she brings a unique perspective to her maker business.
When she’s not blissfully covered in clay, you’ll find her practicing handstands, reading in the sun, sipping coffee, and chatting goals and strategy with fellow female entrepreneurs.
