About the Co-op

Here at the School of the Arts Ceramics Co-op, we are offering UVM students and the general community an opportunity to explore the world of creating with clay. From wheel-throwing to hand-building, our facilities have everything you need to dive into the exploration of ceramic arts. The SoA Ceramics Co-op is intended for those who are self-driven with their ceramics journey; all are welcome to join, experienced and inexperienced alike. There will be guidance from the SoA Ceramics Co-op manager, who is there to help mentor and answer any questions. All blocks are non-credited and are not structured classes; studio sessions will be for fun and to inspire creativity.

Members will be able to choose a block time with a total of 4 hours of studio time a week (make-up blocks are allowed). You can either sign up for a hand-building spot or a wheel-throwing spot. Everything you need is included with your membership, such as: clay, tools, glazes, firings, etc. Our Fall 2025 session is between August 25th- December 5th for a total of 13 weeks. Membership registration is open until November 1st. Feel free to come by and check out the studio 9am-5pm, the manager will show you around. 

For more information about becoming a member and our studio operations, please see the SoA Ceramics Co-op Studio Information and Member Agreement (PDF). The studio will be closed for the summer.
