The Clay Studio Blog

Bring joy and creativity to the darkest days of Winter starting in January! There's a class for you here whether you're a beginner or have been working in clay for a while. Classes now include open studio time for practicing. That means you can come ANYTIME (outside of scheduled classes) to practice and hang out with others exploring creativity. Join our supportive, warm community! Come play! Brian Chen will teach intro to handbuilding on Tuesday mornings and Tuesday afterno

Once a year we transform the clay studio into a gallery and welcome the public to join us here. This year's sale will highlight the 3 ceramic artists who teach at the studio (Tyree Dworak, Brian Chen and me) plus Jean Kuhn (Lisa's sister) who makes all manner of bags for carrying things (totes, duffels, etc.) from recycled demin. I hope that you can stop in on that first December weekend!
