What is the Clayworks Ceramics Studio?
The Clayworks Ceramics Studio at Starkey Ranch Library is a studio space for the community to learn about and engage in clay arts. The Clayworks Studio is equipped with six pottery wheels, a slab roller, and a kiln. Patrons can try both pottery and hand building with clay, and have it fired on site here at the library! Beginner to experienced patrons are welcome to attend our programs free of charge.
Check the Starkey Ranch Theatre Library Cultural Center Events Calendar for more information about future programming.
