Santa Fe: An Artistic Haven at Paseo Pottery

Santa Fe is renowned for its vibrant arts scene, and Paseo Pottery exemplifies this creative spirit. Established in 1991 by a group of passionate artists, Paseo Pottery serves as both a working studio and a welcoming space for art enthusiasts. Today, ceramicists not only produce their own works within the studio but also showcase their creations in the on-site gallery.

Creative Classes for All Skill Levels

At Paseo Pottery, classes cater to a range of artistic abilities, from beginners to seasoned professionals. Participants can choose from intensive seven-week courses to concise two-hour clay sessions. These classes offer a hands-on experience where attendees can engage with hand-building techniques and the potter's wheel, allowing everyone to "play in the mud." At the conclusion of these classes, participants' clay creations are recycled back into the studio's clay supply.

A Supportive and Fun Learning Environment

Visitors to Paseo Pottery frequently praise the studio's inviting and enjoyable atmosphere. Both novices and experienced artists find value in the easy-to-follow instructions and supportive guidance provided by the instructors, ensuring an enriching experience for all.

Location and Accessibility

Located around 5 miles west of Santa Fe Plaza, Paseo Pottery is most conveniently accessed by car, making it easily reachable for locals and tourists alike.

Operational Hours and Class Availability

The schedule for pottery classes is largely dependent on artist availability, with sessions commonly offered on Fridays and Saturdays.

Pricing and Special Events

Classes cost $115 per person, inclusive of a $15 credit that can be used in the gallery. Additionally, Paseo Pottery organizes Pottery Throw Downs on the first Friday of each month from 5 to 8 p.m., featuring pottery demonstrations and opportunities for attendees to experiment. These events cost $35 per person. For more detailed information and bookings, please visit the official Paseo Pottery website.
