If you've been meaning to try pottery and keep landing on our page, this is the post to read first. Here's exactly how classes work at our North Riverdale studio — the formats, the schedule, what it costs, and what actually happens once your hands hit the clay.
We're a small studio on the quiet side of the Danforth, a few minutes' walk from Greektown's restaurants. Most people who come through the door have never touched a wheel and are quietly convinced they'll be terrible at it. They are not. Clay is more forgiving than you think, and the room is full of people in exactly the same boat.
Our studio at 112 Hampton Ave — natural light, room to make a mess.
Where to find us
Our studio is at 112 Hampton Ave, two blocks south of Chester Station in North Riverdale — Toronto's East End. If you're coming by transit it's a short walk from the Danforth subway line; by car there's two-hour street parking on the surrounding streets. (Our old Gainsborough Road location has closed — all programs now run from Hampton.)
