About Us

The Clay School was founded in 2005 by potters for potters. Our welcoming community studio is made up of passionate teachers, curious students, and resident artists who share a connection through the art and craft that is clay. We’re more than a studio, we’re a place that often feels like family and a place where many life-long friendships begin.

β€œThe Clay School is an incredibly welcoming community. They are always striving to enhance potters’ experience inside and outside of the studio.”

β€”Susan B.
