Ceramics At BAC
Whether you’re throwing on the wheel or building by hand, BAC’s Ceramics Studio has something for you all year long, including classes, workshops, open studio time, and kiln firing.
Been throwing for years? Never touched a pottery wheel? Either way, there’s a place for you in our Stockbridge studio.
The Ceramics Studio is located on the lower level of our main building. Our space has electric wheels, wedging and handbuilding tables, and a glazing area. Learn more about our studio equipment below.
We offer wheel-throwing and handbuilding classes all year long, along with workshops, open studio time, and kiln firing. Ceramics classes are open to students of all skill levels, and experienced students can sign up for open studio access.
Our friendly studio team is here to help you get started!
