McBride Studios was created by Julia McBride, who is a multidisciplinary artist from Central Florida. She received her BFA in painting, drawing and printmaking from the University of North Florida in 2018. She received her MFA in printmaking from the State University of New York at New Paltz in 2021. After graduating in 2021, Julia moved back to the Space Coast of Florida and began making small batch ceramics. She takes inspiration from the natural Florida landscapes to create patterned functional pottery.
