The Artist Outpost

★★★★★Kaitlin Mohler

OB has a huge amount of pottery studios, but if you’re curious which class-series to take, this is the right one. Dan was the teacher for my series and he was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and encouraging. And I’m very happy with my pieces! I feel like I still have a lot to learn, but the 5 classes taught me way more than I would have expected! I made 9 pieces in my series, remarkable value.

Cannot recommend this studio enough! I took the oil landscape 6 class series. The group is small enough that you can get individualized instructions, all the supplies are provided, and the vibes are just right. Special shout out to our instructor Meryl for all her help and guidance 💕

Thank you to the artist outpost for our private girls night pottery class with Corin! I love how much they give back to the community and how they strive to keep art alive. If you’re looking for a place to thrive in your community come create with them. Thank you again Corin!

I’m so obsessed with The Artist Outpost! I had never taken a pottery class and got the urge to give it a try. I just finished my first 5-class series with The Artist Outpost. The times are so convenient with after work options. The studio space feels like a perfect part of the community that I never knew existed. Every time I’m at the studio, I feel like I’m home hanging with friends. The studio is organized and has everything you need to get started with pottery! My main instructor, Meg, is so fantastic. She is just what you would expect from a pottery teacher: super experienced, paint brushes in her hair, great personality and easy to talk to, and very focused on intention and goals during the classes. She is always ready to answer questions and give advice about a piece. I love how she always asks for consent to touch a piece or to touch your hands to show you how to move the clay on the wheel. We had Ruben as a sub for 2 classes and he is also incredible. He gave so much support for specific issues I was having with my wheel throwing. I already signed up for the next 5-class wheel throwing pottery series and might even consider taking one of their other art classes, like painting, in the future! I highly recommend and can’t wait for more enjoyable time at The Artist Outpost! Edited in December 2024: wanted that I have continued to love the Artist outpost and all that I have learned from them this year! It’s been so fun to continue to improve my skills through their pottery membership.

I recently joined the pottery membership at Artist Outpost, and it's been such a great experience. Right from the start, I felt super welcomed by the staff and the friendly community of artists. The membership gives you plenty of flexibility to come in and use the studio when it works for you. The space is stocked with everything you need, whether you're new to pottery or more experienced. There's a great selection of tools, and the clay is provided, which is a huge plus. It’s nice not having to worry about buying your own materials and just focusing on creating. The atmosphere is really laid-back and supportive. Everyone I’ve met has been super helpful, and it’s motivating to be around other creative people who are also working on their projects. If you're into ceramics or looking to try it out, I definitely recommend the membership at Artist Outpost. It’s been a fun and rewarding way to spend my time, and the sense of community really makes it special. The Picture below is a peak at the kiln before a firing!
