The Clay Studio is one of the most popular studios in Philadelphia if not the most popular clay studio. In addition to selling pottery, they also offer classes and workshops for both children and adults at different levels of experience. The studio first originated as a place for a handful of artists to share a workspace, but over the years it geared its programs to introduce the community to clay art, which in turn has become a community art center and a major focal point for ceramic arts on an international level.
