TCAC has continued to monitor the current health crisis in our country and has determined it is time to suspend all studio activity. This was a difficult decision to make, however we believe it to be in the best interest of our students' and members', as well as our civic duty to our community. All classes are cancelled and the studio will be closed effective Saturday, March 21st through April 25th. Students will be credited their remaining class time to apply to future classes. We wish to express at this time the pleasure we take in sharing our passion for ceramics with you, and our appreciation for you as a student/member of our studio. Be well.
A friendly, open, creative space to learn and explore possibilities in clay, and a retail gallery offering unique locally made ceramics.

Owner /Instructor Rebecca Pincus
I have been playing with clay for over 20 years.
The earthiness of the clay and the magic of the glazes still inspire me every day. My strength as an instructor is in identifying a student's goals and encouraging their unique vision
