lets get

muddy!

MudCity Clay is a community clay studio located in the historic Gonic Mill in Rochester, NH.

We offer handbuilding and wheel throwing pottery classes for children and adults, drop-in ClayPlay, full studio memberships, private events, workshops, summer art camps for kids, clay sales, and studio kiln rentals. We also partner with local schools, nonprofits, and organizations to bring clay into the hands of many in our community.

POTTERY CLASSES + EVENTS

When I originally signed up for an evening clay class, I had only intended on taking a few ad hoc classes, but a year later I’m still here — and now a member. There’s something about the studio’s setup and overall vibe that just keeps drawing me back. The teachers and staff are incredibly welcoming, supportive, and genuinely wonderful to be around. It’s such a positive, encouraging space to learn and create, and I’m so grateful to be part of this community.

PRIVATE EVENTS

Get muddy and creative with your friends!

Host your next birthday party, girls’ night out, [insert any excuse you want for a fun experience], at MudCity! We also offer private lessons for individuals or smaller groups looking for more one-on-one instruction.

Clay is tangible, moveable, moldable earth.
