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 4 hours of studio time a week (make-up blocks are allowed). There will be open studio sessions on Fridays, allowing members 2 extra hours every other week (there will be a sign-up sheet). 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 25^th- December 5^th for a total of 13 weeks. Membership registration is open until October 17th. Feel free to come by and check out the studio M-F 9am-5pm, the manager will show you around.
