Jeffery Liang is a Taiwanese American based in the San Francisco Bay Area. With a background in fine arts and industrial design, Jeffery’s passion for creating has always been at the heart of everything he does. Handmade pottery became the perfect medium for him because it beautifully combines these two passions. Jeffery’s journey into ceramics began in 2018 when he became a student at City College of San Francisco’s Fort Mason Center. Jeffery quickly realized that ceramics was something he wanted to pursue seriously. A few months later, Jeffery began working at several pottery studios in both San Francisco and his hometown of Taipei, where he continued to refine his skills and deepen his understanding of the craft. Initially, The Spiffy Studio began as an after-work project about making and selling handmade functional ceramic pieces. However, working as a full-time designer during the week and selling pottery on weekends soon became unfulfilling. Jeffery has always been fascinated by the idea of being a business owner and entrepreneur. Jeffery began to consider opening his own pottery studio. After a few years of refining the idea and months of hard work, Spiffy Pottery Studio officially opened for business in February 2025 —a welcoming creative space where people of all backgrounds can discover the joy of working with clay, learn new skills, and build meaningful connections through ceramics.
