Welcome to the MERA Pottery Studio

We are a joyful group of potters share space, tools and experience in the basement of the MERA Schoolhouse.

We are organized as a co-operative, sharing responsibility for making our studio a fun, open, supportive and safe place to enjoy creating works in clay both on and away from the wheel.

Each studio member is encouraged to participate in both individual and collective projects, to contribute to studio maintenance tasks, and to teach and learn from the other potters. Studio Members must be members of MERA:

MERA potters also organize learning and teaching opportunities in the form of in-house workshops and sessions led by professional potters and contribute to the Annual MERA Christmas Fair.

Currently our studio is full

Thanks for your interest in Pottery at MERA!

Unfortunately, for the time being, we are not offering introductory classes or accepting new studio members. It goes against MERA’s welcoming grain to pull up the drawbridge and declare “No Room! No Room!” but that is what MERA’s pottery collective must do. There really is no more room. We currently have 25 potters sharing storage cubbies, drying shelves and kiln space in our 30’x20’ basement space. Much as we’d like to keep squeezing over, there is no more room to be made.

Stay tuned

The pottery studio schedule is always fluid. For information about when the studio is open please contact Lyndal Neelin at lyndal.neelin@gmail.com .

Working groups continue to form and dissolve according to shared interests, joint projects and other commitments.
