During this COVID-19 pandemic, the Kalamazoo ARTisans studio is closed to the public. We are looking forward to the day when we can welcome our friends and fans back to the studio for Art Hop evenings and pottery classes. In the meantime, an appointment can be made with any of our individual artists to view their art at the studio with masks and social distancing.

Private Lessons
Kalamazoo ARTisans is a co-op pottery studio and some of our members will teach private pottery classes. The cost is determined by the teacher as it may involve their supplies but it usually is $40+ per session(which would be at least 2 hours of instruction). As this is a private lesson, the day and time is arranged by the teacher. We have the ability to teach handbuilding and wheel throwing techniques. We don't teach children unless their parents also participate.
