Your Hands. Your Clay. Your Story

Whether you’re here to unwind, explore your creativity, or connect with fellow makers, Island Pottery
Studio offers a welcoming space to shape something uniquely yours—no experience required.

We’re not an art school. We’re a Studio for a creative community where people of all ages and backgrounds gather to create with clay, share ideas, and grow at their own pace. Our sessions are
guided by experienced makers, so you’ll always have support without the pressure of lessons, grades, or homework.

For our community members:

Open Studio Hours

Drop in during open hours to work on your own projects. Whether you’re refining a technique or trying something new, you’ll find space, supplies, and creative energy here.

Sell What You Make

Made something you love? We offer consignment opportunities in our storefront so you can share your work with the local community.

Ready to Clay With Us?

New members begin their pottery journey with us at the start of select months: January, March, May, September, and November. During the summer, we welcome new makers in both July and August—giving everyone a chance to settle in with extra support during our quieter season. This intentional onboarding schedule allows our studio guides to offer focused, hands-on time with new participants as they explore clay for the first time.
