The Clay Corner

What it is

The Clay Corner is a Fremont (Seattle) community pottery studio founded by Sean Kelly in 2017. Official homepage: Seattle’s largest community pottery studio — about 10,000 square feet across two adjacent buildings, serving 300+ members — with scholarships and pay-scale memberships. Wheel throwing and handbuilding paths; classes capped at 5 students with individualized instruction. It is not a membership guild association and not a commercial clay manufacturer warehouse (onsite supply store is secondary to the teaching / membership studio).

Who it’s for

Adults and teens 14+ seeking monthly studio membership with unlimited or independent practice access; beginners starting via weekend intro classes without membership; visitors browsing the public supply store. Not a children’s studio — site FAQ: no kids’ classes; open-studio model works best for independent practice. Not a guild dues desk or a full-line regional clay distributor.
