Join us in the studio for something new. Match that special summer energy with fresh inspiration, new techniques, and time to make with your hands.

We’re launching Special Topics classes for those of us who already have the clay itch, alongside beginner classes for anyone still feeling clay curious.

Come try the wheel, explore surface and form, learn something unexpected, and spend your summer making

Skye took a workshop here at last fall and discovered a new technique that resonated deeply and has been at the heart of their work ever since (thank you, .christensen.77)

One demonstration, one new idea, and suddenly your work begins to move in an entirely new direction.

No matter how long you’ve been working with clay, there is always something new to discover.

If you’re looking for that spark, our special topics summer session launches May 20 (that's Wednesday 😵‍💫)

We’re excited to share fresh techniques, new perspectives, and plenty of inspiration 💕💕

Spots are open—join us in the studio 💕
Thursday nights or weekend mornings

These beginner classes are for anyone new to clay, returning after time away, or still working on the basics. We’ll cover wheel throwing, handbuilding, and the foundations that help things start to click—centering, form, and flow.

Classes meet weekly, and you’ll have open studio time in between to practice, experiment, and build your confidence at your own pace. Clay is included, so you can keep showing up, trying again, and seeing what happens.

Join us as we welcome a new instructor to our Maine Clay Community! Arun Devon will be joining our teaching staff and will be teaching three Beginner Classes starting next week!

During these 8 class sessions, students will learn basic handbuilding and wheel throwing techniques as we throw bowls and cups on the wheel. Gain confidence throwing on the wheel and working in the studio independently.

If you are looking for a sign to try something new this spring this is it!

Testing new glazes ✨

There are four new glazes out on the glaze bar. They're still in testing, but ready for you to try. If one catches your eye, give it a go, and tell us what you think! If our makers love them, we’ll mix up a bigger batch

And a huge thank you to our wonderful Studio Technicians for mixing up all these test batches. We have four that we're excited about, but they mixed up twice that amount. We're so thankful for their hard work 🥰

Our *first* Family Workshop is coming up!

Join us this Mother’s Day for a family clay workshop inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe and the first blooms of spring. Together, we’ll create flower bowls—bright, playful, and handmade.

Sunday, May 10 · 2–3:30 PM

These family workshops are all about making side by side. Designed for kids and their adults—parents, grandparents, chosen family—it’s a chance to slow down, try something new, and enjoy clay as common ground.

We’ll guide you through simple handbuilding and decoration, with plenty of room to explore and play.

Come make something blooming, together.
