This special show opens on Friday from 7-9pm! Join us for snacks, drinks, and look at some *stunning* bisqueware that has been donated to us over the years.

See you Friday!

🤔 Why are we getting the sense that Halloween is coming?! 💀👻🎃🧙‍♀️

After six years in storage, the boneyard is coming back out 💀 A beloved tradition in teaching studios, a boneyard is a collection of objects made by instructors and visiting artists that, over time, becomes an archive of a studio’s history. On view from October 16th through November 5th, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺𝘢𝘳𝘥 offers a glimpse into the people and ideas that have shaped Claymakers over the years. Join us Friday, October 16 from 7–9 pm for the opening reception. We’ll also have an artist market featuring work by Claymakers’ studio assistants—come support these talented artists. We can’t wait to share this little piece of Claymakers history with you!

Don’t forget: there are just two weeks left to apply for our 2026 Community Showcase! This year, we’re especially excited to feature your work in our brand-new gallery space ✨ Open to all 2026 class participants, private studio artists, instructors and studio assistants. Apply through the link in our bio by October 14 at 11:59 pm.
