You’ve made this place what it is!

The regulars who stay a little longer after class, the members who know every corner of the studio, the people who keep showing up week after week just to make something with their hands, tell us your story!

We’re looking to spotlight the artists, makers, crafters, experimenters, and longtime community members who bring life to this space every day ✨

Tell us:
• what brought you here
• what you love making
• how your practice has grown
• your favorite studio memories
• why this place feels like home

Send us photos/videos of you + your work and you could be featured as our next community spotlight 🌿

Just send us a DM!

May, wrapped ✨

No May-Gray here at the Craft Center, just full classes, busy studios, packed shelves, messy worktables, kiln loads, conversations mid-making, and another month of seeing the Craft Center buzzing with creativity from corner to corner.

Thank you for showing up, trying new things, returning to old crafts, and filling these spaces with so much energy and community.

We’re already looking ahead to summer with even more exciting offerings, workshops, and opportunities to make alongside one another 🌞


See you in the studio soon.

Some Sundays at the Craft Center are extra special!

For years now, this family has spent their Sundays here, showing up week after week to create together, experiment, problem solve, and slowly bring incredible ideas to life.

This stunning sculptural piece deserves all the love. From the intricate textures to the thoughtful details and sheer scale of it, every inch carries hours of patience, care, and dedication.

One of the most beautiful things about the studio is getting to witness work like this grow over time and the people behind it grow alongside it 💙

Here’s to Sunday studio traditions, ambitious projects, and making art together.

Mold on clay? 👀 Good news ! It’s usually a sign that your clay is well-aged and nicely workable 🌿

When clay sits over time, moisture distributes more evenly through the body, often making it feel smoother, softer, and more plastic to work with. The fuzzy green stuff might look alarming, but it’s completely normal in moist clay stored over time.

Many potters actually *prefer* slightly aged clay for this reason ✨

So next time you open your bag of clay and spot a little mold… don’t panic. Just wedge it up and keep making!!

A few in-betweens from our ongoing surfboard shaping classes! From first cuts to final forms, it’s always exciting watching boards slowly come to life by hand! 🌊

🔥 Molten glass + digital fabrication? Yeah, you’re gonna want to see this.

Join the School of Visual Arts + for a live mold blowing demo where student-made molds meet the heat, movement, and unpredictability of hot glass.

Built in the DIB Makerspace using modern digital fabrication methods, these molds are being brought to life through one of the oldest manufacturing traditions out there — and the results are seriously exciting.

Come watch the process, ask questions, and see what happens when technology and craft collide ✨

📍 New Glass Center
🗓 Monday, May 18
⏰ 3:30–5:30 PM

Open to anyone curious about glass, making, fabrication, or just wanting to see something cool happen live 👀
