Empowering Women: RS Recognizes Women-Owned Businesses

By patronizing women-owned enterprises, we dismantle gender barriers and create a marketplace that truly values and acknowledges women's achievements. Explore the links and contacts provided below to make a meaningful impact.

Sarah Beth Pottery 

My sister Sarah started her career as a high school art teacher, and after about five years, decided to venture out on her own as an entrepreneur doing what she loves best-- making pottery. She is now a full-time potter at Sarah Beth Pottery, working from her home studio in Lubbock, Texas. 

Sarah sells her works via social media, her website, and a few boutiques across the U.S., along with local art shows. Her passion, constant stream of ideas and creativity, and her ability to bring these ideas to life in the form of functional pieces is truly astounding. Her work is inspirational, useful and fun!

Gabe mentioned that you'll notice in the "About Us" section of the website that it says, “husband and wife owned business,” and went on to say, “Let’s be honest, she does all the hard work and I just manage the website.”
