Who we are:
The Goshen Clay Artists Guild was formed in 1998 when a group of local artists with varying degrees of expertise decided to work together and share studio space, ideas, and techniques. We grew steadily and in 2004 we had a new studio constructed at 212 W. Washington St., Goshen. The guild currently has 30 members with full access to the studio.
Students who sign up for classes receive instruction on Tuesday evenings and enjoy exclusive access to the guild facility on Thursday evenings. There is some turnover in membership and class access so if you are interested, be sure to ask about our wait lists if a class is full. Members of the guild have either taken one or more classes onsite or have a college or masters level degree in ceramics.
About Our Studio
The Goshen Clay Artists Guild provides a creative space for 30 clay artists and regular Tuesday evening classes of 13.
Our classes are intended for beginners through advanced levels. All instructors have a teaching degree or have taught at the college leve.
Guild members also sell pottery at a variety of locations and events throughout the year.
Several guild members participate in the Michiana pottery tour. The Fall MPT is at the end of September – see above for details or click on the MPT links on this page.
Take a Class!
The Guild offers beginner and intermediate classes, open to adults four times a year, for 3 month sessions. Our instructors are all well qualified and helpful.

Expert Instructors
Classes are taught by Guild members with extensive knowledge of clay and teaching. Each of the four teachers holds a teaching degree in Art or has taught at the college level. Classes are fun and instructive for potters at every level. Beginners are welcome.
Four classes are held every year in our studio space. Students attend a 3-hour class on Tuesday evenings and have the option of an additional 3 hours of studio time on Thursdays.
Classes last for 12 weeks and typically begin in January, April, July, and September.
Students have the opportunity to explore a variety of clay styles including wheel work, hand building, and other special techniques.
During their class, participants will learn about clay bodies, glazing techniques, and firing.
Classes are beneficial for those who are new to clay, those who wish to get back into working with clay, and those who wish to build upon their past experience.
Classes are limited to 13 students and are intended for adults.
