About Erie ClaySpace
Our Story
Once part of the Erie Art Museum (until January 2016), we're now flying solo as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit, ready to sprinkle some magic into your life with clay! Nestled in downtown Erie, our studio has been a creativity hub since 1981.
Whether you’re a pottery pro or a total newbie, our communal studio space is your happy place. We offer classes, workshops, and memberships for all ages and skill levels. Our dedicated team and board are united by a love for educating, empowering, and inspiring through ceramic arts.
From community outreach to guest artists, there’s always something exciting happening here. Come join the fun at Erie ClaySpace—the most unique and impactful community ceramics studio in town! Let’s create something amazing together.
