Such an awesome and inclusive pottery studio here in downtown Vallejo . So worth a visit to check it out. The vibe is always chill & fun. Great people all around! I have taken the hand building classes for a few years but I also take wheel classes there now and I love it. Whitney & Sarah are such great teachers. They have some awesome 1 day classes that are easy and affordable. The variety of different classes is nice because you can get a quick intro to clay, create some art & have a nice little hand made gift in the end. Can’t say enough about the studio and the community that Vallejo Clay creates.
I've learned so much at Vallejo Clay Studio! I've created functional pieces as well as whimsical. Whitney Smith has made a space where all levels of skill are welcome. Try out a one day class or sign up for a six week session!
I highly recommend Vallejo Clay Workshop. Whether you don't have any experience with clay (like me), or have dabbled, there is something for everyone. I've taken a couple of the individual 1-day classes and the 6-week classes, and have made some fun and functional wares. And, along the way I have met some really cool people. Whitney, the owner, has 30+ years experience as a ceramicist and is great and helpful instructor.
After taking wheel classes at another studio several years ago, I got reacquainted with clay through Vallejo Clay’s handbuilding classes and am currently enrolled in wheel classes — both have been my favorite part of my week. Whitney is a fantastic teacher who encourages independence and experimentation, welcomes questions, and laughs at her own mistakes so that her students can be free to make mistakes too. If you’ve been clay-curious, looking for a creative outlet, or yearning for a “third place,” this just might be it.
