Claya exists to make ceramics accessible, joyful, and meaningful—by providing welcoming classes, a professional-grade studio space, and a creative community where anyone can learn, make, and grow.
A Modern Pottery Studio in Denver, Rooted in Craft + Good Times
Claya is a ceramic arts studio in Denver’s RiNo Arts District offering pottery classes, workshops, and 24/7 studio membership access. We are located at 3440 Walnut Street.
Claya serves beginners, hobbyists, and experienced ceramic artists alike. It’s a place to slow down, have fun, work with clay, and create something meaningful. There isn't a wrong way to do clay. It is mostly playing in the mud.
Classes are welcoming, membership is flexible, and the space is open to anyone looking to explore the ceramic arts in a supportive, relaxed setting.
