About Us!
A Legacy Of Creativity And Learning
Welcome to our pottery studio, a haven for creativity and a celebration of the ceramic tradition.
With over 50 years of history, our studio has been a pillar of artistic expression and craftsmanship in western Michigan, thanks to the vision and talent of our master potter, Peter “The Potter” Johnson.
Led by Peter, our studio has transformed countless lumps of clay into works of art, timeless vessels that tell stories with their curves, textures, and glazes. Guided by a deep understanding and respect for the art form, Peter has honed his and many others’ skills through years of dedication, innovation, and exploration. It is no surprise that the careers of many successful potters have been launched from their time here.
Our studio offers a myriad of opportunities for pottery lovers of all types. Whether you're a patron of the arts, a beginner looking to explore the clay medium, or an experienced potter looking to refine your technique, our studio, classes and workshops cater to all.
Join us at our pottery studio and embark on a creative journey that is steeped in history, craftsmanship, and the passing on of knowledge from one generation to the next.
We can't wait to welcome you into our creative family.
