About us
The Muddy Hands Open Studio Collective is a space for potters who are looking for a reliable place to work on their projects outside of a formal class setting. Whether you are throwing on the wheel, hand-building, or trimming your latest batch, this group is meant to provide the studio time and community atmosphere needed to keep your practice moving forward. We are a collective of hobbyists and makers who value a quiet, focused environment where we can learn from one another and share tips over the wedging table.
We meet regularly to share studio space and keep each other accountable to our creative goals. This isn't a structured class with an instructor, but rather an open opportunity to get your hands dirty alongside others who enjoy the process of working with clay. If you have some basic experience and are looking for a community of peers to share space and conversation with, we would be happy to have you join us for a session.
