Mollie
OWNER
Mollie Leisinger is an artist, educator, and founder of SayDoSay Pottery Studio. Her creative journey began with earning a Fine Arts degree from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, which led to nearly a decade of teaching art in Lincoln Public Schools. In 2020, Mollie opened a home pottery studio where she created and sold her work while also offering classes.
The demand for classes quickly grew, and it became clear that a larger space was needed. This is when Mollie discovered a charming building in the heart of the Bethany neighborhood. With the help of family and friends, she brought new life to the space and transformed it into the thriving community studio it is today.
At the core of Mollie’s work is a deep love for learning, teaching, creating, and connecting with others. She feels incredibly grateful to have built a space that not only fosters creativity but also brings people together to explore, express, and grow through clay.

Estes
STUDIO DOG
Little Miss Estes is Mollie’s best friend and is at the studio whenever Mollie is there. When you come into the studio, she will greet you with a wagging tail and loving energy. She will do a proper meet and greet and then find her comfy spot and snooze while everyone creates.
