What we believe

Art is a practice
built on basics,
shared in community.

Teach

Working artists share craft skill with anyone willing to practice it.

Gather

Two studios open six days a week — for first-timers and long-time makers.

Show

Monthly exhibitions give students and members a real place to show the work.

“The block has a piece inside it. My job is to slow down enough to hear what it wants to be.”
Get involved

Three ways in.

We're always looking for teaching artists, volunteers, and new students. Pick whichever fits your week.

Teach · 01

Propose a workshop

We bring guest artists in to lead one-off and short-run workshops. Pitch a class — single session or multi-week — and we'll help you scope, schedule, and promote it.

Volunteer · 02

Help run the studios

Studios run on a small army of volunteers — gallery sitting, kiln monitoring, event setup, weekend studio assistants. A few hours a month makes a real difference.
