Studio C is a community ceramics studio built for hands-on creativity and shared learning. It is a welcoming, fully equipped space where you can take a class, develop your skills, or experience clay for the very first time.
Upcoming Studio C Events
One-Night Wheel Throwing
June 19, 2026
6:00-8:00 pm
In this beginner-friendly workshop, participants will learn basic wheel-throwing techniques to try their hand at the pottery wheel. Participants will be given three 1-pound balls of clay to learn to cone and center clay, pull up walls, shape, and finish up to three pots. Results aren’t guaranteed, but you can expect to have a hands-on learning experience in this mini crash-course on wheel throwing.
Workshop: Pride Coaster
June 27, 2026
2:00–4:00 pm OR 5:00–7:00 pm
In this beginner-friendly hybrid workshop, you’ll learn how to create a custom set of colorful coasters, starting with handbuilding and optionally using the wheel to complete your surface design. Students will be shown two surface design techniques and given a variety of underglaze options to decorate their coasters. Pieces will then be finished in a matte clear glaze by the studio.
