Supermud Pottery opened 40 years ago as a working studio and gallery, and has been in its current sunny second story location on the Upper West Side since 1997. Ask a person about their experience at Supermud and they may start out talking about building with clay but they often end up using language that describes something deeper.

Supermud has been called a sanctuary and reprieve from daily stresses; a safe place to unleash creative energy and experiment without judgment, where one’s efforts are encouraged, nurtured and sincerely appreciated; It can be a second chance at something put aside when responsibilities left little room for anything else. It’s even been called a free day of therapy! No less important, it’s a place one can make rich and lasting friendships. Most of all, it’s great fun!

We offer classes in hand building, wheel throwing and glazing to adults and children of all skill levels. Classes consist of no more than 8 students to allow for individual attention from our highly skilled teaching staff. The relaxed ambiance of the studio encourages sharing of ideas and fosters creativity.

We provide clay and tools and offer 24hrs of free practice time each week. In addition to adult classes, we offer kids classes and more. For more experienced potters, Supermud Pottery rents studio space with 7-day access in a great community of potters.

Supermud’s gallery is a multi-use space that functions differently throughout the year ranging from in-house artist exhibitions to our student holiday show/sale in December.

For decades, Earthworks has been a creative home for potters and sculptors. I threw my first pots here in 1990 — crooked little bowls bursting with promise. What started as a wonderful hobby quickly became my passion and my livelihood. I’m pleased to build on that tradition, and invite you to come find your expression in clay.

EarthworksNYC is a get-your-hands-dirty teaching studio offering classes and workshops for adults throughout the year. Classes meet for 10-week sessions, providing complete instruction in making, decorating, and glazing pots. Workshops are usually one or two sessions only, allowing a focused approach to a technique or form.

At EarthworksNYC we have a gallery located in the front studio area. The gallery is a great source of inspiration to students, and a treasure trove of hand-made items. We support local potters and you can, too, by stopping by to browse and shop our ever-changing selection.
