Our Studio
Who we are
ClayHouse Arts is a judgement free space to have fun, be around like-minded people, and make cool stuff within a welcoming community. In addition to their training in fine arts, Phenix and Quinn have spent their careers working with people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. As an occupational therapist, Phenix works to help others adapt activities to suit their needs and abilities. Their mentor believed that there should be no boundaries to creativity and so together, they expanded that idea and started ClayHouse Arts. Though it will take some time to adapt the environment to suit their vision, their goal is to help make pottery and the arts accessible to everyone. All artists have the opportunity to learn and grow from the influences and inspiration of one another.
