Clay, community, and North Carolina.

Charlotte has always been a place where people make things. We're adding a proper pottery studio to the mix — a space where you can learn to throw on the wheel, build by hand, and develop your craft at your own pace.

Whether you're picking up clay for the first time or you've been potting for years and need studio access, this is your space. Small classes, quality equipment, and a community of makers who care about the work.

Located in Charlotte with the North Carolina sun through the windows and good people at the next wheel over.

What Makes Us Different

Small Classes, Real Instruction

We cap every class at twelve students. That means you actually get hands-on guidance, not a crowded room where you're left figuring it out on your own. Our instructors are working potters who teach because they genuinely love sharing the craft.

Built for Charlotte

This isn't a franchise or a paint-and-sip spinoff. We're building a dedicated ceramics studio that serves this community — a place where serious potters and curious beginners both feel welcome. Good equipment, quality clay, and a space designed for the work.

What to Expect

North Carolina Clay

Our glaze palette draws from the North Carolina landscape — deep navy blues, warm brass tones, burnt orange, and the rich earth tones of the Carolinas clay. All food-safe, all cone 6.

Quality Equipment

20 Shimpo wheels, 5 kilns including gas reduction, 50+ glazes, and proper ventilation. Everything you need to make work you're proud of, maintained and ready to go.

Community Space

A studio is only as good as the people in it. We're building a space where potters support each other, share techniques, and enjoy the process together.
