The Project Studios Clay Studio is our 3600 sq. ft. work studio for working in ceramics at Project Studios. With an outdoor area located in the ground floor of Building A at Neumann Leathers, the studio is equipped with four electric kilns, two slab-rollers, seven Brent pottery wheels, kick and treadle wheels, pug mill, work tables, customized Brent extruder, two portable Raku kilns, large air compressor, HVLP sprayer and airbrushes, as well as a large assortment of hand tools and bats. The Clay Studio is also well-stocked with raw materials for the formulation of custom glazes.
The Clay Studio now has its own site where you will find detailed information about membership and equipment as well as events such as Raku sessions and studio tours.
Primarily, the studio is intended for artists, and non-artists interested in ceramics, of all experience levels to use on a monthly-membership basis. Fee-based firing for non-members is also available, but it is generally best to just sign up for the membership. The studio can be accessed 24/7 via a coded entry door. The studio has an experimental focus and is not intended for high-quantity production work, however we are exploring a membership tailored to production potters.
The Clay Studio is part of our artistic ecosystem at Project Studios.
