Launching in early 2027, the Makers’ Studio offers an affordable, professionally equipped shared ceramic workspace where you can focus on your work without the expense of maintaining a private studio in Asheville. Designed for wheel throwers, hand builders, and sculptors, it welcomes part-time professional potters, emerging artists, and serious independent makers ready for greater independence in their practice.

Bridging the gap between pottery classes and a private professional studio, The Makers’ Studio gives you the freedom to work at your own pace, explore new ideas, and develop your practice or creative business. Shared equipment, studio resources, and designated storage help you spend more time creating.

Created in response to the challenges facing our ceramic community (including displacement from Hurricane Helene and today’s economic pressures), the Makers’ Studio offers more than workspace. You’ll join a supportive community of independent ceramic artists who share a commitment to making, learning, and growing.

With an affordable monthly fee, you can maintain your independence while enjoying the connections, collaboration, and inspiration that come from working alongside fellow makers.

Admission is application-based, with applicants’ ceramic experience and ability to work independently considered as part of the process.
