Join Our Creative Community
Calapooia Clay LLC is a welcoming space where potters and ceramic artists come together to create, learn, and grow. To join our studio community, prospective members must first take at least two of our 5-week wheel throwing or handbuilding classes. For experienced potters trained elsewhere, an orientation session is required before becoming eligible for membership. Although our studio is currently full, you are welcome to visit and add your name to the waitlist to become a Punch Card or Monthly member as you begin your journey with us through classes and workshops.
Whether you’re building skills, developing your style, or simply carving out time to create, our memberships are designed to support your process—not limit it.
Our studio is a shared creative space. These guidelines ensure that it remains respectful, functional, and enjoyable for everyone: Studio Community Guidelines.
