Providing a unique place to create, learn, and connect with artists in the community. ​
Wheels & Handbuilding Spaces
-
Our wheel room is fully equipped with smooth-spinning wheels suited for every skill level—from first-time throwers to seasoned potters refining their craft.
-
A dedicated handbuilding area offers plenty of open table space for sculpting, coiling, slab work, and creative exploration.
-
Wet boxes in both spaces to keep works-in-progress perfectly hydrated while drying shelves provide organized space for pieces at every stage.
Glazes & Finishes
-
Our studio offers an ever-growing glaze bar, with pre-mixed glazes stored in large tubs that line the walls—ready for dipping, pouring, and experimenting.
-
Shelves of underglazes and oxides give artists endless ways to layer color, texture, and detail into their work.
-
For members who love to explore the science of ceramics, we provide dry mixes and essential chemicals to formulate custom glazes from scratch.
-
We proudly carry a full selection of Mayco Stroke & Coat and specialty paint-on glazes, perfect for adding precision, personality, and vibrant finishing touches.
Kilns & Firings
-
Our firing studio is powered by a diverse lineup of dependable L&L electric kilns, including both top-load and front-load options to accommodate projects of every size.
-
Advanced electric firings ensure consistent results for bisque, mid-range, and high-fire work.
-
For members looking to explore atmospheric firing, we offer access to our 8–10 cubic foot gas reduction kiln, bringing rich variations, warm tones, and natural surface effects that only fire and flame can create.
-
We also host raku firings—fast, fiery, and always unforgettable—where artists can experience dramatic post-reduction finishes and the thrill of pulling glowing work from the kiln.
Gallery
-
Our studio gallery is designed to celebrate the creativity of our community. With multiple display areas throughout the space, every member has the opportunity to showcase their work—whether it’s a first successful bowl or a fully developed collection.
-
At the heart of our gallery is a dedicated front exhibition room, home to our monthly rotating shows and special events. From our annual Spring and Winter Showcases to themed exhibits and member spotlights, this space highlights the talent, growth, and artistry within our studio.

We’re proud to offer a gallery that not only displays finished pieces but also inspires connection, conversation, and community appreciation for the ceramic arts.
