The Clay Co-op is a working ceramic studio and community space located in St. Petersburg, Florida. We offer classes for all skill levels, from beginners to experienced potters, along with memberships for independent makers.

Our studio is equipped with pottery wheels, hand-building tools, kilns for electric and atmospheric firings, and a full glaze lab. In addition to classes and workshops, we host rotating gallery exhibitions, provide kiln firing services, and sell clay and pottery supplies.

At our core, we’re a space for people to connect through clay—whether you’re here to learn, create, or share your work.

What a great experience! Emily did a fantastic job explaining the steps and patiently went through the process with us. It was exactly what I hoped for. A no-pressure, relaxed atmosphere, and fun time to learn the basics of pottery. Highly recommend!

Went with two other couples as a fun group activity and had a blast. Kim taught us how to use the wheel and manipulate our clay, she gave us ideas and guidance for those of us who needed extra help! The vibe was chill, cool music playing and other artists were in there working on their pieces. We left our painted creations behind to be fired so we’ll see the fruits of our labor in a week or two, but the experience in itself was great. If you’re looking for a gift for someone who has everything I’d suggest an experience like this instead of “stuff”. Buy them a gift card, or take them out for a fun evening! Definitely recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hour intro to Pottery class with Liz. Everyone we met at the studio was nice and supportive. Liz taught us how to make pottery and helped us improve our skills as we turned a couple of pieces. It was so relaxing!

My boyfriend brought me here as a surprise for my birthday and I couldn’t have received a better gift! He booked the 2 hour intro class with Emily and we both made 2 pieces in the time frame. Emily was so patient, knowledgeable and fun. I’ve worked with clay before but had always been nervous about the wheel and now I can’t wait to do it again! Thank you Emily and Clay Co-Op for the wonderful class. Also, if you do this for a date night get the ‘Ghost’ pic!!
