Welcome to eARTh’s Schoolhouse
Ground yourself in clay. Find your still point.
At eARTh Studios, creativity and community come together in a soulful space where pottery becomes a path to connection—with the earth, with others, and with yourself. Our flexible certificate program offers hands-on classes in wheel throwing, handbuilding, sculpture, surface design, and stone carving—for beginners and experienced potters alike.
Whether you’re shaping your first bowl or refining your craft, you’ll find a welcoming studio culture, immersive workshops, and personalized instruction that support growth, curiosity, and joy. Here students don’t just make pots—they make progress, connections, and memories.
With year-round programs—from 1,2,3 and six-week classes and weekend intensives to kids’ classes/camps and date nights—there’s always a way to play, learn, and belong.
It offers the spirit of an art school—without the pressure or formality—where learning unfolds through hands-on experience, curiosity, and community.
Come get your hands dirty. Create something lasting. Discover the power of clay. With each piece you shape, you’re also shaping your story, your confidence, and your creative identity.
