Glazing, sculpting, creating adorable creatures. Hand Building Six Week Class is incredible.

Look at these stunning pieces and oh my GLOB!!! Those glazes!!!! Top shelf and Chef’s Kiss!

The last class of this Six Week rotation. Heads down, glazing like their lives depended on it. It doesn’t. These lovely humans will be back the next rotation.

Mark making the studio bright and golden with his presence, ideas and limitless creativity.

Glazing under the shade of the trees, secretly waiting for the chipmunk to make its furry little appearance.

Also… let someone know you like their shirt. It makes the day and you get an adorable smile in return.

Here, we have a potter in the wild.
Also… one of our favorite people.❤️

Be it our students or instructors. Test tiles for glaze is of the upmost importance. It lets us know how glaze moves, reacts with other glazes, how it flows on texture.
It is an imperative part of being a potter. Plus it’s fun to look at them fresh out of kiln and read the notes at the bottom.

Once again, the world in which Jason creates. Be it either in hand building or fused glass, will always amaze us.

We are here for the creative space. For the safe space. For the space you may need after a long day or to celebrate the little things.
Thank you all for all you do!!! We would not be where we are today if not for ALL of you!!!

This lovely and truly beautiful piece is being created by the one and only Lisa.
Her pieces are always whimsical, somewhat vulnerable and always a source of joy and conversation.
As always… can’t wait to see this lil lady glazed!

Chris has made one of his more epic mugs in the Sunday Six Week pottery wheel class. The mug body itself is divine as it will hold a trough size of morning hot drink of your choice
I mean... who wouldn’t want to begin your day with the Terminator?

Six Week Glass Fusion student is doing a stunning painting her cat like one of her French ladies. Can’t wait to fire this off and watch those colors pop.

I love a meditative stroll through the studio before the doors open. Each empty room, empty chair and hallway sing future potential.

These lovely fused glass pieces have been placed in a mold and about to go through their second journey in the kiln. The creativity of students never cease to amaze me. All of these pieces came from their imagination.

Welcome to the ClayGround. An art studio in the heart of Old Ellicott City. A second home to some. A safe place to many. A place where people wanna hang and make some light art to those who come to truly hone their skills. Test their knowledge, test their test tiles and these those walls.
