Your Pottery Journey Starts Here

From one time experiences to multi-week classes, 
The Clayground has you covered!


 

What We Do

At The Clayground, we’re passionate about providing a creative and welcoming space for potters of all levels in West Michigan. Our studio offers a variety of options to explore your artistic side, from monthly memberships with 24/7 access to immersive 6-week classes. Whether you’re a seasoned potter or just starting your journey, we have something to offer.

Our one-time experiences allow you to dip your toes into the world of pottery with a 1.5-2 hour session where you can hand build a unique piece or learn the art of throwing on the wheel. We believe in fostering a supportive community where everyone feels inspired and empowered to express their creativity. Come join us at The Clayground and discover the joy of working with clay!


Meet the Owner

My name is Steph and I took my first pottery class in 2021 after binge watching the Great Pottery Throwdown. I fell in love immediately and started working at the studio after a couple of class sessions. I loved the sense of community I felt and wanted to branch out on my own to be able to provide even more people the opportunity to try their hand at clay.

Hand building is my preferred method of creating pottery and I’m constantly working on improving my wheel throwing skills, but my true passion is people. Creating a safe and welcoming environment is one of my top priorities!


 

What We Offer

One-time Experiences

Whether you want to make a hand-built project or learn to throw a pot on the wheel, our one-time experiences are a fun activity for all ages and occasions. The experience will last around two hours and pieces will take 2-3 weeks to finish!

6-Week Classes

For those looking to explore pottery a little more in depth, our 6-week classes might be the option for you! We will be offering beginner’s hand building and beginner’s wheel throwing classes to start and will add more classes as we get our bearings.

Monthly Membership

For a monthly fee, members will have 24/7 access to the studio with their own, unique door code. We offer a safe and secure space to create on your own time! Firing will be taken care of by staff and firing fees will be charged separately at a discounted, member rate.

Private Events

Need a place to celebrate your child’s birthday? Want to have a unique date night? Do you need a fun team-building activity? The Clayground can host special events for ages 6+ and will tailor the experience to fit your needs!

Specialty Workshops

A goal at The Clayground is to offer unique workshops. These workshops will usually be two sessions, a week apart from one another. We also offer workshops on taking photos for social media, what to expect at markets, and other hot, pottery topics.
