OUR MISSION
To provide the community with the environment, resources and learning opportunities to discover and use clay as a means of artistic expression. It is our intent to offer our services to all ages, regardless of physical abilities, as a means of developing their self-exploration and self-esteem. In addition, we provide master potters with the equipment, glazes, kilns, exhibitions and necessary support services to enhance their skills and to improve their access to the general neighborhood and Brooklyn’s expanding artistic communities.
SINCE 1994.
