Who We Are

The Pottery Club is about making things—without the pressure, without the rules, just the pure satisfaction of shaping something with your own hands. Founded by Michele Dalgarno and Shayna Stevenson, this space was built for people who want to escape, experiment, and connect. Pottery isn’t just about the final product—it’s about the process, the mess, the slow moments, and making something with your hands.

Michele is a photographer and marketing pro. Shayna is a ceramic artist with over a decade of experience. Our friendship began on the softball diamond and quickly grew through our shared passion for community, a love of adventure, and saying yes to new things (like, “…should we start a pottery studio?”). The Pottery Club is our way of bringing people together—whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned pro, you belong here.

Mission

To create an inclusive, down-to-earth space where people can experiment with ceramics, pick up new skills, and just enjoy the process. We keep it fun, low-pressure, and open to everyone.

Vision

A creative hub where people come to make, connect, and get their hands dirty. Less perfection, more presence. Pottery should feel good—simple as that.

Values

  • Inclusivity: No cliques, no gatekeeping—just a space where everyone is welcome.
  • Creativity: There’s no “right” way to do this. Try things. Break things. Make it yours.
  • Community: Pottery is better when it’s shared. Meet new people, swap ideas, and learn together.
  • Sustainability: Respecting the process and the materials we use.
  • Quality: Thoughtful craftsmanship, intentional design.
  • Education: Whether you’re here for a night or a year, you’ll walk away knowing something new.
