Crested Butte Clay Studio is a welcoming creative hub where community and artistry come together through the joy of working with clay. Founded by ceramic artist Luisa Naughton, who brings more than 30 years of experience to the studio, our mission is to share the transformative power of ceramics with people of all ages and skill levels. From memberships for independent artists to classes in hand-building, wheel-throwing, and sculpture, we provide opportunities for everyone to explore their creativity. We also host private events, engaging workshops, an annual pottery showcase, and maintain a gallery highlighting unique ceramic works.

Our fully equipped studio is designed to inspire and support every artist, whether just beginning or deeply experienced. With 10 Shimpo whisper wheels, a slab roller, wedging tables, an extruder, Skutt kilns, a wide selection of clay bodies, tools, and glazes, the studio offers everything needed to bring ideas to life. Whether you are looking to learn, refine your skills, or simply enjoy creating alongside others, Crested Butte Clay Studio is a place where imagination takes shape and community thrives.
