Pottery Experiences
One-time private ceramics experiences for visitors, first-timers, companies, families and more.
Our Programs
Paseo Pottery serves a community with many needs. We cater to large groups, individuals, travelers, seasoned potters and first-time artists. Our large studio in the Meow Wolf neighborhood is equipped with sixteen wheels, three slab rollers, extruders, worktables, tools, materials, a separate glaze room, gas, electric, and raku kilns, and an on-site gallery where our artists sell their work.
pOTTERY experiences
Our pottery experiences are one-time, two-hour sessions guided by local Santa Fe artists and geared toward travelers, newbies, and anyone looking for a fun introduction to pottery. At the end of class, students will recycle their pieces and receive a credit to use in the gallery.
Volunteer
Put your passion for clay to work in our community. Gain access to the studio as a time trade. Learn how to run a ceramics studio and gallery or to teach classes and assist in keeping our space open.
Classes
In our seven-week beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes in hand building, wheel throwing, and sculpture, students will learn the entire process of morphing clay into a functional or decorative piece of art. Classes meet once a week on a specific day, and the studio is open seven days a week for students to continue practicing between classes.
We also offer occasional workshops in Raku and precious metal clay (PMC).
Membership
Students can transition to a studio-membership after completing at least one seven week class series. Members have access to all of the studio’s resources seven days a week.

Our Impact
Each year Paseo Pottery selects a local charity to receive all net-profits from our Pottery Throw Downs. Thus far, our pottery-powered charity has donated over seventy five thousand dollars. We embrace a form of conscious capitalism—cover our costs, then invest excess revenue into our community.
