About

Barbie Savage Arts was founded by artist Barbie Savage in 2019 under Savage Arts. Before creating this company Barbie studied fine arts in San Francisco and relocated to San Jose, CA. In San Jose, Barbie created custom work for weddings, individuals, and held community events. Now married to co-owner Nick, she relocated again to Fresno, Ca where Barbie Savage Arts operates. Barbie has been making ceramics and selling in the Fresno area since 2014 and business is booming. Nick and Barbie teamed up to bring fine ceramics to a wider audience and build up the ceramics community.

Barbie creates the work with her 18+ years of ceramics experience and Nick runs the administrative business with his 10+ years in administrative background. We believe that handcrafted ceramics be made with the utmost quality and care. We also use the items we sell here in our own home to ensure they meet our quality standards and are a pleasant experience to use.

Giving Back

Barbie Savage Arts believes in giving back to the community we serve, so we engage in charitable donations for organizations to hold auctions and fundraisers. We have donated to a number of local schools for silent auction including Central High School Agriculture program and Cedarwood Elementary.

Ceramics can be a difficult career for burgeoning artist to approach, so Barbie takes on apprentices to help them build their portfolio, apply to college, and start their own ceramics career. These apprentices have gone on to share their knowledge and passion and share in the mindset of giving back to their community.

Family

Nick and Barbie have a passion for creating high quality ceramics and their family has been an amazing support system to their passion. Their son has his own cupboard of child sized version of the work sold and provides his regular feedback on how it feels and the glaze effect. Nick’s father is a big supporter of the company and relies on his art background to help refine any aesthetic choices and collaborates on ideas. Barbie’s elder brother is the company’s biggest fan and regularly orders custom work for his events and is known to raid the cupboards when he visits. He also helps develop the more masculine lines of work and brings prototypes to poker night for further research.

To us Family is everything.
