Clayspace Co-Op

While not as fancy or visually aesthetic as some of the other shops around, Clayspace Co-​Op reminds patrons a messy shop means giant strides. This tiny shop, located in The Wedge building, houses five ceramic artists. All wood-​fire their beautiful yet each truly unique, wares in the 27 foot long wood burning kiln. Clayspace Co-​Op started as a two man production, two local student artists needed a space to work and together complied resources to open up the gallery and work space in 2003. Since then, the shop has expanded to six local professional ceramic artists who work and show in the cooperative space. The co-​working space is in the back of the gallery and didn’t seem accessible to general public, but the ceramics themselves, which adorn every surface and self, are individually handcrafted which is seen through the colors and rough edges.
So, if you’re in the market for: bowls, mugs, vases, urns, pitchers, plates or any type of jar wit a lid, and you’re willing to pay for handcrafted items, this shop is not to be missed.
