Shape Clay, Build Community
Our mission is to provide affordable and accessible artistic education to our community and its youth. Students with or without ceramic experience can sign up for a single class or come back for many, choosing what fits their interest, schedule, and pace. We believe in keeping things simple and welcoming: no pricey multi-week courses, no rigid structures— just open doors, open minds, and lots of clay.
We strive to provide access to a safe and accommodating space where people of all abilities can explore the wonderful world of clay.
