Come in curious. Leave with clay on your hands and a feel for the room.

Your first visit to a pottery studio in Denver shouldn’t feel like a sales pitch. At Claya in RiNo, you’re welcome to stop in during retail studio hours and say hi. We’ll answer your questions and help you figure out whether a one-night class, a multi-week course, or a membership is the right fit for you.

How membership signup works

Ready for your own shelf and keycode access?

  1. Pay your first month online: Extended Founding is $140/month.
  2. Come in as soon as you can: we’d love to welcome you the same day! If another time works better, email us and we’ll set one up. On that visit: member agreement, shelf, keycode, and a show-around.
  3. Then you get your keycode: once you’re signed and keyed, you have your own keycode and shelf for independent studio access.

We ask for at least one beginner class (or equivalent experience) before membership so you can work safely on your own. Details and checkout live on the Studio Membership page.
