    Pottery is better shared! 


    Find people to share your joy (or your clay) with!

    Find studios and classes, get your work fired, coordinate a clay swap, or discuss all things pottery in the forum!

    Whatever you choose I firmly say, pottery is better shared.

    Find a class on the Studio Map!


    Um reading websites is fun and all but have you tried getting your hands in clay yet? There are... 36+ studios in Seattle, and who knows how many private teachers. And that means like thousands (??) of new students every year who you could throw clay and chill with???

    Find some new friends through the Studio Map!
