A few muddy highlights...
All our classes are open studio classes. That means there is no set curriculum. Whether you're creating on the wheel side or on the hand-building side, what you make each time you come to class is 100% up to you.
There are literally infinite directions you can go with pottery, and we want you to make whatever your heart and mind will find joy in creating!
Whether you're making functional ware, beautiful art, decorative pieces, or any other of a thousand things, there is always a direction you can go that will fill your bucket in a hurry.
Life is hard to predict. Come when you want!
Each membership level comes with 4-8 open studio classes you get to attend each month. There are no set days you need to come each week. Whenever works best for your busy schedule is good by us!
Use your allotted classes all at once, or spread them out. It's totally up to you. That's one of the benefits of having such a massive studio to come be part of...
Oh, and guess what. If you're traveling, sick, or life takes over for a minute, don't fret! Your unused days here never expire (so long as you're a member). Use them months or years from now, it's all good!
Learn pottery wheel, hand-building, sculpting, slab molds, & more!
Want to learn the pottery wheel? Awesome. We've got 29 of them! Want to hand-build? Great! Sit and chat with your classmates while you create something you love. Want to skip learning the wheel and make fancy, beautiful bowls or other vessels using slab molds? We've got you covered with more than 150 of those, as well.
You can jump back and forth between all the common pottery methods, try them each whenever you feel like it, or you can focus on the one thing you're most passionate about and work to master it.
The thing about pottery is that it's your journey. Every method is the right method if it's the method you enjoy. We're just there to guide you in all the right directions.
Hundreds of members strong and growing!
There are hundreds of other members already enrolled at The Clay Hole! We work hard to make sure the group of humans who make up our community are full of good-energy, awesomeness, and authenticity.
Some classes are packed with members, some are more laid back and emptier. Since you can come whenever you want, there's no rhyme or reason to it.
What we do know is that (if you can) you should definitely try attending all the different classes and see which group you love hanging with the most. Your people are here. Keep on coming. You'll find each other, even if it takes a minute!
The Clay Hole can comfortably accommodate up to 550 members. There are still many class times we will open-up as membership levels grow so that you've always got room to do your thing.
Help when you want it! x4 instructors in every class!
While we don't have structured classes (to encourage your individual creative journey), we do have x4 instructors in every open studio class! Two on the pottery wheel side, and two on the hand-building side.
Look for the people in the purple Clay Hole shirts! Our instructors are there to help you learn whatever you think up! They have decades of combined experience, and will know exactly what to do, how to find answers, or who to ask when an idea stumps them.
Whether you want help coming up with your next idea, glazing tips, construction instruction, or just someone to gab with, call an available instructor over whenever you like. That's what they're there for.

THE SCIENCE OF FRIENDSHIPS
Well, shoot. Friendship (as an adult) turns out to be much harder than people expect it will be. Did you know? It takes 50 hours of shared time to move from a mere acquaintance to a casual friend, 90 hours to progress to a "real friend" status, and more than 200 hours to become close friends with someone.
The Clay Hole was designed from the ground up as a place you can get those 200 hours in with your people and have a blast all along the way...
The clay hole was founded by one of the biggest names in pottery
Dan Pearce, founder of The Clay Hole, is followed by millions on social media. When you become a member of The Clay Hole, you not only work with incredible instructors with decades of expertise under their belts, you also get to work side by side with Dan. You'll find it to be just as enjoyable playing with clay in person as it is watching his antics online.
