Looking for a space to practice pottery in?

We’ve got just the spot!

Pay for one month at a time, or sign up for a monthly subscription.

Our monthly membership is set up for individuals with prior clay experience who wish to utilize our studio facilities to create independently. While there is no formal instruction provided, Milissa and/or Eric Beale will be present for advice, to foster creativity, and to help you reach your pottery goals. Both Milissa and Eric bring almost 30 years of experience in clay to every session. Milissa specializes in hand building and surface design techniques, while Eric brings an incredible skillset on the potters wheel, and extensive chemistry knowledge for making glazes.

There will be 6 wheel spots, and 10 hand building spots available during each session time - please specify which you’re interested during the check out process.

*We are flexible with studio hours. You get 4 studio hours per week, which equates to 16 hours per month with your membership. If there are open spots in other time slots during the week you are welcome to move around to accommodate your schedule. We teach classes + workshops in the evenings, but will let you know if we have free evenings for you to pop in and get some of your hours filled. You’ll be able to check with Milissa for availability.

Fridays are the most popular night for members. We have a wonderful community of makers here to bounce ideas off of, explore in your craft with, and just have an overall good time while making.

  • 20% off all additional Classes + Workshops, as well as products
