a pottery studio and gallery

We've been providing pottery classes to the Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati area since 2008.  
Beginning and advanced students are welcome.  

*Sadly, after 16 years, we are no longer booking children's programs because the indoor pot smoke from the business next-door permeates our studio.  NKY Health Department and the City of Covington are incapable of enforcing the current laws, and Realiant Property Management (the owner/occupant of the building) seems unable to properly manage their own property. We will resume if the situation changes.*

For more experienced students we offer the opportunity, guidance and encouragement to improve skills and develop a unique style.  While we encourage entering the marketplace, our studio is not the place for production work or cottage industry.  Our emphasis is on teaching, learning and improving.

We also conduct one-day corporate team-building workshops.


We do not offer "date nights" on the pottery wheel.  Our experience is that a student's ability on the pottery wheel is extremely limited during a one-time session. If you commit to invest the time in six classes, we have a much better chance for your success.

Off-street parking is available.  Check your email (junk box too) before the first class for directions.
