Experience the Difference!
eARTh Studios is a home studio based on a lifetime of working with Stone, Metal and Clay. Owner and teacher Diane Walters offers ceramic workshops, brings in metal instructors for weekend jewelry workshops and has all the tools for hands on soapstone sculpture experiences. Transforming these mediums directly leads one into a personal metamorphosis of internal awareness and change. To this end Diane now offers process based personal growth labs which includes contemplative inquiry, colour, clowning, and poetry alongside the fruits of the eARTh in stone, metal and clay.

Diane tailors the days to encompass all the skills you’d like to work on and gives you the techniques to produce beautiful pottery in a fun and welcoming environment. eARTh Studios is a beautiful studio and very clean and organized.
