About Us

Originally founded in 2012 as Radical Radiant; Urban Anchor is a Jersey Shore based design studio specializing in (but not limited to) woodworking, pottery, murals and graphic design run solely by owner/artist/single mom Stephanie Redding.

While currently a ceramic technician and art instructor for Monmouth County's Creative Arts Center at Thompson Park, Stephanie's background is in theatre/film design and construction having attended school for Technical Theatre at DeSales University and Scenic Design and Scenic Art at University of North Carolina School of The Arts. Prior to her return to the Jersey Shore, she has worked at award winning theatres including Weston Playhouse Theatre Company, Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival and has a number of film credits under her belt.

When not in her studio or at the Art Center, she can be found hanging out in the greenhouses of Lanza's Nursery propagating, planting and creating customs planters.
