The Artists
Debby & Jeffrey Arrigoni are the creators of Sedona Swirl Pottery. They started the journey back in 2015 from a small studio located in the back of their garage. After working her entire life in the corporate world, Debby at 53, started experimenting with clay and a potters wheel. She discovered a profound joy, one that eluded her most of her professional work life. It was this newly discovered passion that became the foundation to what would be the beginning of Sedona Swirl.
Jerry Ruiz, a high skilled ceramicist joined Sedona Swirl in May, of 2022 while still finishing his BFA from NAU (Northern University of Arizona). In 2023, Jerry was granted a six month study abroad in Osaka Japan. Where he continued to hone his craft under the Osaka ceramics masters. Upon his completion Jerry returned to the states and his position at Sedona Swirl. Jerry has become a wonderful artistic creative that has contributed his time and talents to the beloved Swirl taking us to the next level. Thanks Jerry!

Because when you do, you're enriching the lives around you, and not just the artists, but everyone who enjoys art from young to old. Without art, we lack a form of self identity that has been with us since humans were able to drawl on rocks and cave walls thousands of years ago. Art is the ultimate form of human expression.
