Studio Space Available for a Ceramic Artist

We have a studio opening in our shared Maker’s Studio + Gallery — an ideal next step for established or emerging ceramic artists looking to deepen their practice without the overhead of a private studio build-out.

This is a working gallery, not a classroom. The space is quiet, focused, and designed for serious making. Our community includes 10 dedicated ceramic artists working in small batches. We’re collaborative, sustainability-minded, and share responsibilities to keep the space running smoothly.
What’s included:�✔️ 24/7 access�✔️ Parking + security�✔️ High-speed WiFi�✔️ Shared kilns + slab roller�✔️ Opportunity to sell in the gallery�✔️ Hands-on gallery management experience

The space is full of natural light and skylights — bright, energizing, and built to support creative flow. Visitors can observe artists at work, offering a rare and meaningful way to connect your process with the public.

If you’re ready to grow your practice in a supportive, working gallery environment, let’s talk.�📞 Call us at 804-775-0832 or DM to set up a visit.

Purrr!

This mid-century kitty once ruled the 1950s art world and is now making a stylish comeback in contemporary ceramics and mixed media. Inspired by classic atomic/mod design, this cat—by Lesa Fleet—is rendered in sgraffito on a 10” ceramic plate.
