Studio
Our studio is located in the Raleigh Hills neighborhood in Portland, Oregon. This cozy space features a clay studio downstairs, with five pottery wheels and room for hand building or sculpture. Class sizes are always small, so you get closer to a 1:1 experience with our experienced class instructors.
We specialize in custom classes catered towards your group and what techniques and skills you'd like to learn.

Picking up your finished pieces
Your clay artwork goes through many steps after you leave the studio. We try our very best to deliver finished pieces that look the way you last saw them, just a little smaller and shinier, but due to the often unpredictable and unforgiving nature of ceramics, things can happen. We cannot guarantee any pieces to make it through the drying, firing, glazing, and second firing. We tell our students not to fall in love with their pieces until they're at home with you. The whole process of drying, firing, glazing, and a second firing can take 2-4 weeks. You'll receive an email from us when they're ready for pickup. You'll have one month to pick up your finished artwork once it's ready. After that, we cannot hold unclaimed pieces.

Open Studio
If you need to pick up your finished artwork, you can do so during our Open Studio Hours.
You can make an appointment for pickup with our Studio Manager, Jorie by emailing [email protected]. We can usually book pickup up to 15 minutes before or after a class. Please include the days and times you'd like to pickup after checking our schedule.
Our pottery wheels are now available for 2-hour booking sessions. Taking our Wheel Curious class, 4-week Let's Throw, or any of our multi-week wheel courses is a required pre-requisite to booking Open Studio. If you have taken a wheel class at another studio within the last 12 months, you can book a free 30-minute studio orientation to serve as your pre-requisite instead. Contact us to book your Open Studio session or an Orientation session today.
