March 31st - April 28th

Mondays - 6pm - 9:00pm + unlimited STUDIO ACCESS


STUDIO CERAMICA is The Richmond District's first community pottery studio and is operated and owned by a female, San Franciscan- Mexican artist. Mel Rice opened STUDIO CERAMICA in 2016. Mel trained in ceramics at San Francisco City College - Fort Mason Campus for over 8 years. STUDIO CERAMICA is a child of Fort Mason Campus and Mel runs this studio with the same foundation she was given at City College. Mel's studio is located in the heart of SF's "Little Russia" on Geary Boulevard between 25th Ave. & 26th Ave. Learn the craft of making functional pottery pieces for the home. We offer a Pottery Throwing Classes & Basic Hand-Building Courses given by Mel, Vincent, Tiffany,and Jay.

Learn how to throw clay on a pottery wheel just like Patrick Swayze & Demi Moore in the movie Ghost! Join a great community of creative people in one of our packages made for beginners or intermediate throwers. Each student will receive 20 pounds of clay, food-safe glazes and slips, and all firings are included. Mel does not put a limit on how much a student can make in these classes, so the sky's the limit on making pots. Everyone will be given one extra class a week to come in and practice and receive guidance from the community. Students can purchase more clay at the studio from our selection of 7 different clay bodies. All of our glazes, slips, and englobes used are made the old school way from scratch in our chemical lab set up in the downstairs of the studio. We have a full clay recycling system in place at STUDIO CERAMICA and we pug and recycle all our clay. It is madness, but we do it! More experienced potters can flow at their own pace and Mel can help any student beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Mel, Jay, and Vincent will be giving the classes together. Each instructor has a unique style and passion for clay and spreading knowledge. Students can flow at their own pace. These classes are great for beginners or pros. Instructors will be able to help any thrower at any level. Even those who have never touched clay. All are welcome. Also, students will be able to MAKE-UP instructional classes if MISSED! We have an outside space to work. Once students have taken a Package, membership is offered. Hope to meet you soon! Please email me with any questions. [email protected]
