Live Your Best Pottery Life-- Become a Member
Membership gives you a place to keep the clay flowing.
Our members enjoy generous studio access, shared tools and equipment, and a welcoming community of potters who love learning, experimenting, and cheering each other on. Vallejo Clay is the perfect home for dedicated hobbyists who want to build skills and have a creative space that feels like a second home. Members work without supervision, so they must understand the full ceramic process—from making and glazing to understanding the stages of firing and safe equipment use.
Membership is generally limited to current and former Vallejo Clay students. Experienced studio potters may be considered when classes are full. All potential members complete a quick meet-and-chat to make sure everyone—and their pottery practice—is a good fit.
