About Us
Welcome to Common Clay Pottery. Our story is one of passion, community, and a love for ceramics.
At Common Clay, our mission is to make art more accessible. More than just classes, more than just a studio, we have built and sustain a community of artists and creatives who work in a shared space to nurture the most basic needs of the soul—to create and connect.
Crafting Connection
Located in the heart of Roanoke, VA, Common Clay is not just a physical space; it's a haven for those seeking a creative sanctuary. Our studio is where people from all walks of life come together to share ideas, techniques, and their love for clay. It's a place where friendships are forged, skills are honed, and artistry blossoms.
Our Creative Collective
What sets us apart is our diverse community of artists, instructors, and students who form the backbone of Common Clay. We're a collective of individuals who push the boundaries of clay, constantly innovating, and inspiring each other. Our instructors are not just mentors; they're passionate guides who nurture your artistic growth.
The Clay Journey
Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned potter, we have something for everyone. Our classes cater to all skill levels, from introductory sessions that introduce you to the magic of the pottery wheel to advanced courses that refine your technique and encourage artistic exploration. It's a journey of skill-building, camaraderie, and, most importantly, joy in creation.
More Than a Studio
Common Clay is not just a place to learn pottery; it's a community that celebrates the transformative power of art.
