About Us
The Potters' Studio is a one-of-a-kind ceramics center offering pottery classes; extensive open studio time; memberships, including 24/7 access; regular high-quality weekly firings; a gallery; and much more. If you're a beginning potter, it's a great place to learn, and if you're a more experienced ceramics artist looking for a place to just do your own thing -- and even do your own firings, both electric and gas -- this is the place!
We've been a part of the Bay Area pottery and ceramics community for over 40 years.
A staff member is on hand during the week to accept pieces for contract firings in our kilns.
We're located just off the University Ave. exit on Interstate 80, near the Fourth St. shopping district.
