Our Vision

Transforming Community Through Clay

 

Our Mission

We educate, nurture and inspire a diverse community of ceramic artists. We provide the space, support and tools for creativity, growth, community, connection and joy for those who make and appreciate ceramics. We believe that diversity and inclusiveness make for a better experience for everyone.

We value our studio’s 50-year history and work to ensure its future security.

EDUCATION

We value life-long learning and provide the highest quality teachers for classes and invite the most experienced visiting artists for demonstrations and hands-on workshops.

A WELCOMING AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY

We welcome and care about everyone who interacts with The Potters’ Studio. We foster interpersonal connections and the sharing of experiences in our community. Our goal is to make ceramics available to all people regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status or ability.

SUSTAINABILITY

We believe that both financial and environmental sustainability are integral to the future of The Potters’ Studio.

We champion innovation that will lessen our impact on finite resources and strive to operate a studio that consciously minimizes waste and energy consumption and maximizes recycling, repurposing and reuse..

CREATIVITY

We inspire and encourage each other to express ourselves creatively. We cultivate differences in expression and style and help individuals achieve their highest potential as artists.
