Chambers Pottery

just finished the summer semester LOVE IT!

This place is great! The students are all at different levels of experience but it’s a very open and friendly atmosphere and everyone is willing to help out a newbie. There’s no set curriculum in my class so you really have the opportunity to make what you want and experiment as much as possible. Definitely take advantage of all the open studio time, it’s really invaluable.

Great place to learn pottery! I always wanted to work with clay and decided to take the plunge! When I called to get some information I spoke with Amanda (owner) who was wonderful — she had patience to answer my questions and helped me understand the difference between the wheel and handbuilding classes. The class itself was so welcoming. I was truly a nubie and everyone was so helpful. I made some interesting pieces and learned alot about glazing. So if you’re a nubie come and give this place a try. Oh — if you’re experienced don’t pass this place by either — there are true artists here. The pieces they made are truly works of art! Gives me the inspiration to try different things.

I started taking classes at Chambers Pottery about a year and a half ago. It’s such a warm and friendly studio, I’ve learned so much in such a short time. I live in Brooklyn but getting there is really easy. Half a block from the 1,2,3 and two or three blocks from the 4,5,6, A, C, E N, R Downtown Manhattan

I’ve been taking hand building classes at Chambers Pottery in Tribeca for several years now. I love the relaxed open work space and the communal atmosphere. The hand building and wheel building classes are all in one large loft so there’s lots of room to work mixed with the opportunity to see what everyone else is doing. My teacher covers all the basics with new students, reviews them with old students, and changes the projects each semester so they never get boring. Of course we’re also free to work on projects of our own creation and get all the support we need.- after all it’s not high school — why should we have to stick to a set curriculum? There are open studio hours most weekdays and weekends with no extra charge. There’s no instruction then, but there’s usually someone around who can answer a question.
