"I've been exploring pottery for around 38 years. I have a passion for the medium and love to get others addicted to clay with me. My main interest is pottery on the wheel with a focus on decoration to my thrown pieces. I have volunteered at Chemeketa Community College for many of those years and love to help tutoring new wheel students." - Troy Munsell, WAC Instructor and Potter

Troy's Beginning Wheel Class is starting soon! Registration is open, sign up before classes start on 10/12!

This introductory wheel-throwing course focuses on the skills needed to center, trim, and throw the basic forms of cups, mugs, bowls and plates.

REMINDER! Today is cleaning day from 12 - 5 pm.

And to clarify - We won't have open studio during cleaning hours.

Join us TODAY, Sat. Oct. 3, for a volunteer studio clean-up! 🧽✨ Whether you can spare an hour or the whole afternoon, many hands make light work. It’s a great way to give back to the studio, meet fellow potters, and keep our space inspiring for everyone.
