WELCOME!
EarthworksNYC is a storefront teaching studio on two floors, with a small retail gallery located in the front offering items for sale and inspiration. The street level contains our wheel throwing studio, complete with wedging tables, work tables, clean-up sinks, and clay recycling stations. Class shelves for storing wet work (in progress) line the studio walls.
The downstairs studio is used primarily for handbuilding and glazing. Our kilns and glazes are located downstairs, as well as the bathroom. Lining the walls are storage shelves for each class' bisque-fired work, as well as staging shelves for greenware and glazed work awaiting firing.
Our studio is well supplied with quality clay, glazes and equipment. Studio glazes are mixed from scratch, clay is recycled and processed by hand. All space is shared space and organized by class. Students and teachers take part in keeping the studio clean and well-ordered.
