McCheek's Studio

Founded by Carole F. Smith, this neighborhood clay school balances focused instruction with relaxed group making. Offerings range from one-off evening sessions and parties where people fashion practical items or offbeat sculptures to immersive five- and ten-week clay classes and youth camps. For those who prefer to collect rather than build, the studio also produces finished ceramic ware, including glazed mugs and pieces like Sacred Stone vases and planters.
