Clay on Steele

Clay on Steele Clay on Steele is a working pottery studio and gallery. We offer pottery classes and monthly workshops for all ages through out the year.

We have a collection of ceramics made by local potters on show and participate in Algoma First Fridays monthly. Clay on Steele (COS) is a community art center focusing on promoting the arts- specifically ceramics- by providing instruction and space for personal exploration in clay. The environment at Clay on Steele is very “hands on”, with 8 potters wheels and all the equipment needed for hand bui

lding. The staff is ready, willing and able to teach and foster the creative talents of those in and around the community- as well as tourists coming through Kewaunee County and the Door Peninsula- who have a desire to create. All are invited-... at any skill level- most are surprised at what they can do! Classes are by appointment, call Clay on Steele at 920 487 3501 or contact us at this email address, [email protected]

All smiles when grampa and granddaughter spin the wheels together!

A wonderful family from Florida and Minnesota visit their mom in Forestville and come to make pots with us. Very supportive of each other and made some life long pottery to remember their gathering. And today a friendly group of Chiropractic therapists came together to team build! So much curiosity and laughter filled the studio and left creative and one of kind pottery.
Summer is here, get a group of friends and family and have fun in the mud!
