Pottery Studios
The home for pottery and potters
A journey in the pottery hobby oftentimes begins at a pottery studio — a hub for all the tools needed to create pottery.
As you learn and spend time in the studio, you’ll find a vibrant community of passionate potters. Everybody is expressing themselves their own way through their own style of pottery.

Open tables - Pottery can be divided into hand building and wheel throwing. For the hand building, you need a table with plenty of space to work. These tables are also used for any hosting activities.
Wheels - The iconic wheels that are associated with pottery. Gasworks has a dedicated classroom space where the wheels are close together and facilitate learning and chatting.
Glaze room - Part of the final steps of making pottery typically includes using glazes. Here, this area is located on the basement level where there are an array of glazes and works-in-progress.
Kiln room - Your pottery eventually has to be fired up! The kiln room is often tucked away with ventilation. It’s common that you’ll need special training to load and access these kilns.
