Welcome to Art School!

We’re a non-traditional community hub, ceramic studio, event space, and education center run BY makers and FOR makers.

About Us

We are a safe space open to all, a casual environment with a focus on accessibility, fun, and lifelong learning.

Growing out of local craft markets and pop up events throughout Portland, we host classes and more at our space in Slabtown Square in NW. We’re popping up in a funky bi-level space with room for pottery, fiber arts, a tiny retail shop and more. New classes and happenings will be added every month.

And we’re making moves, with a new permanent home with twice the room, more pottery wheels, memberships, and lots of cool stuff planned in the coming year.

If you want to know more, or have an idea for a future class, let us know at the link below. Join us, let’s make something fun!
