Alley Pottery

Our Clayful Beginnings

Nestled in the heart of Lafayette, Pottery Alley opened its doors in 2007 with a mission: to cultivate a vibrant community of clay enthusiasts. From clay newbies to seasoned potters, our welcoming space fosters the exploration and celebration of artistic expression through the magic of clay.

A Playground for Potters of All Kinds

Our studio boasts an array of tools and materials for every aspiring artist. Electric wheels, hand-building tables, a wall extruder, and a slab roller are just some of the equipment available for you to explore your creativity. We proudly mix our own glazes in-studio, ensuring vibrant and unique results for your creations.

Learning and Growing Together

Each month, we curate a diverse selection of workshops and classes designed for all ages and skill levels. From beginner-friendly sessions on wheel throwing and handbuilding to specialized workshops on specific techniques like sculpting or glazing, there's something for everyone.

Workshops and Camps: Discover Your Potential

For those seeking a more focused experience, we offer specialized workshops and camps. Explore specific areas of pottery, such as creating stunning handbuilt sculptures or mastering the art of wheel throwing. Our camps provide a unique opportunity for young artists to delve deeper into the world of clay, making new friends and memories in the process.
