Our Story

Close-up of water with waves or ripples

We are Dallas’s first community-based art studio fully dedicated to ceramics.

We believe community makes us stronger. So when we struggled to find a studio where we could create alongside the community, we decided to make one.

We created Pottery for the People so the community could work alongside each other, exchange ideas, form friendships, and invest in their artistic development.
