A Welcoming Space for All.
Since 2010, Penguin Foot Pottery has brought together first-time potters and creative humans ready to explore the art and play of ceramics. Through personalized instruction and a community that cares, we offer programs for any skill level. Give clay a try for the very first time, or deepen your craft with the tools and space to uplift your creativity.
Studio equity and inclusivity commitment
We are a creative community built on inclusivity and artistic exploration, and we believe in art as a force that brings people together. Whether you are a first-time potter or a seasoned artist, we welcome everyone here. No hate allowed.
The Clay It Forward program seeks to support & fundraise for local, non-profit organizations with the fun of a 3-hour pottery wheel workshop. Workshops are open to all skill levels with all proceeds going directly to the organization!
