All Hands Pottery Studio
Share
All Hands Pottery Studio is a clay studio open to all ability levels specializing in small group and one-on-one classes, workshops and open studio.
One kiln unload and about twenty different personalities showed up all at once 😄
The shelves have been extra colorful lately, and this batch did not disappoint.
Moody blues that look like ocean waves.
Bright sunshine yellow.
Tiny painted details.
Textures that somehow got even better after firing.
That’s always the fun part about opening the kiln… everyone starts with the same clay, and somehow the finished pieces end up completely different from each other.

Pottery studios run on a surprising amount of coffee. ☕️
Not just drinking it… talking about it, making mugs for it, testing pour overs with it, and absolutely getting distracted mid-conversation because someone brought in a really good roast.
At this point, pottery and coffee are basically coworkers around here 😄

Reclaimed clay day always looks slightly questionable at first 😄
A table full of mystery blobs. Some aggressively wedged chunks. At least one person asking, “Are we sure this is the same clay?”
But this is one of those behind-the-scenes studio things that matters more than people realize. Clay gets recycled constantly around here. Trimmings, scraps, abandoned lumps from somebody’s wheel… it all gets worked back in, mixed up, rehydrated, wedged, and given another shot.
It’s messy. It takes time. But it’s also part of what makes a community studio work. Nothing's wasted if it can still become something useful.
Today’s weird gray pile could be somebody’s favorite mug in a few weeks 💙
