Get your hands dirty at BKLYN CLAY, a state-of-the-art ceramics studio offering membership with 24/7/365 access, classes for all ages and skill levels, private lessons, events, and one-time experiences. While it's got Brooklyn in the name, the studio recently expanded to add a Tribeca location (288 West Street) to complement its original Prospect Heights venue (535 Carlton Avenue).
If you're not ready for a full class committment yet, check out a TryDay Night class where you can give wheel-throwing a spin in a two-hour seminar with a skilled instructor. And if you're more a shopper than a maker, you can always pick up some handmade ceramics created by the pros.
