Meet Holly Rindge

Ocean Life + Van Life + Ceramic Life

Holly Rindge is an artist and ocean conservationist based in California.

Holly hosts and produces the Breathline Project, a podcast and video series of conversations with marine scientists while they make ‘sediment cores’ in clay that reflect their unique scientific journeys.

Holly has worked in marine science and conservation for more than a decade, communicating research and building collaborative projects on issues from sea level rise to ocean plastic pollution. She earned her Master of Advanced Study in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego in 2012. In 2022, curious to deepen her knowledge of the therapeutic benefits of clay, Holly completed a ceramic education residency at the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts and a Certificate in Social Emotional Arts from UCLArts & Healing.

Holly built her mobile ceramics studio in the back of a converted box truck. She and her studio pup, Luna, travel California’s coast and make pottery—sharing adventures on the YouTube channel Clay on Wheels.
