At The Smith, we offer a flexible range of opportunities to support your ceramics journey—whether you’re just getting started or deepening your craft. Our membership options—are designed to meet you where you are. For those looking to learn or grow, we offer a limited number of classes, taught in a supportive and encouraging environment. To foster community and collaboration, based on member suggestions, we regularly host “Clay Connections” to explore trends and techniques together.
Members and class participants enjoy access to curated clay bodies and studio glazes selected for consistent, high-quality results. The studio is fully equipped with professional hand-building and wheel-throwing tools, Brent pottery wheels, and L&L electric kilns to support work at every stage of the ceramic process.
Our space also features spacious community worktables, a slab roller, and extruders for expanded forming options. Members benefit from a collaborative studio environment with guidance and support from The Smith staff, creating a welcoming space for both creative exploration and skill development.
