Founded in 1966 by a group of local artists based in Seattle, Pottery Northwest celebrates innovation and access to education in ceramics, with a mission of fostering an inclusive community around clay. Over the years we have grown into a nationally renown ceramics studio through our long-standing and vibrant programming. Our programs serve over 1000 students a year and artists from around the world come to Pottery Northwest in the spirit of artistic dialogue and as a formative step in their careers.
