The Ceramics Department at CAC is composed of 3 distinct studios. Our main studio is located on the bottom floor and home to 8 pottery wheels and 3 kilns, including one of the largest in the state of Maryland. On the 3rd Floor, we have a hand-building studio, and a 2nd wheel throwing studio. The handbuilding studio is equipped with a slab roller, sink and large worktables. Our 2nd wheel throwing studio was added in February 2024, and has 8 pottery wheels. All of our ceramics studios are graced with large windows, allowing for beautiful natural light throughout the day.

Our studio is open to all experience levels. Ceramicists can fine-tune their skills under the guidance of professional artists while beginners, both children and adults, have the opportunity to explore the medium in a supportive atmosphere.
