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.

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.

For children, we teach group workshops for Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, 4-H and home-school groups.  These are one-visit workshops that last about two hours.

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.
