The Potter's Shop in Waukesha is the only ceramic facility in Southeastern Wisconsin that offers 24/7 member access, providing independent and unlimited studio access. Members are required to have enough clay experience to work independently. Our studio members have access to five pottery wheels, four large work tables, personal storage space, slab roller, extruder, spray booth, studio glazes, six electric kilns, kitchenette, and free parking. All new members are given a studio orientation that includes instruction in the use of all our equipment as well as studio processes and policies.  Members are responsible for cleaning up after themselves, being responsible, and respectful of other members and their work.
