• We offer memberships as well as limited classes and workshops for the potters wheel and handbuilding.

    We do not offer outside firing services. All memberships and classes include the firing in the cost. We just don’t want to compromise any of our members work.

  • You can contact us anytime at info@eastownpottery.com or use the contact form at the bottom of the page. We have a very small team, but we typically respond within one business day.

  • We are right in the heart of Eastown at 1422 Robinson Rd SE, Grand Rapids, Mi 49506. In-between Pursuit of Happiness and Connie’s Cakes. So if you stop by for a workshop or class, you can grab a drink before or after or get some cake too!

    There is a paid lot attached to the building as well as paid street parking, but there is free street parking not too far from the studio. Walking is good for the soul anyway.

  • For Members, it is 24/7 access with their app, but for anyone taking a workshop or class, we are open during those class times.

    *We are working on establishing our open studio hours for those that sign up for classes as we open.

  • We can’t take walk‑ins , pottery takes prep, planning, and a little bit of sorcery.

  • Wear something you don’t mind getting a little messy. We provide aprons for all classes and workshops, but clay has a way of finding its way onto clothes, hair, eyebrows etc. The good news is it washes out easily.

    Short nails are your best friend in the studio. Even if your nails are on point, you’ll appreciate not leaving accidental trenches in your clay.

  • We only hold items for 30 days. After that, they start giving us sad, abandoned‑puppy eyes, so please come scoop them up before they get adopted by someone else.

  • Your pieces are usually ready in about 10 days, and we’ll email you when they’re finished.

    You can pick them up during any class time. They’ll be in the big front window with a firing ticket with your name. Just check our schedule and pop in. Our instructor will be teaching, so they won’t be available for questions during class.

    *Open studio hours are coming soon for even easier pickups.
