The Village Potters Clay Center is a vibrant creative community dedicated to the exploration of clay. Our center includes a gallery selling fine ceramic art and functional work representing our six residents potters: Judi Harwood, Christine Henry, Julia Mann, Katie Messersmith, Lori Theriault, and Sarah Wells Rolland. Our gallery is open daily from 10am-5pm.

We offer classes for all levels in wheel, hand building, sculpture, surface design, jewelry making, raku and saggar firings, and more. We host both demonstrations and hands-on workshop experiences, as well as a growing library of live online demo workshops and classes. Our 1-3 year Advanced Studies Program is built upon Independent Study and Mentoring, and is now available online via our Study from Afar program.

COVID update: We require masks within our gallery, teaching centers, and clay company. View our fully updated policies at our website (link on the home page).
