A Studio Built for Curious Hands

ridenoy started as a small neighborhood ceramics studio with one mission: make clay accessible to every adult who wants to slow down and create something real. We've grown into a welcoming community space where beginners and seasoned makers work side by side.

Our instructors have years of studio experience and a genuine love for teaching. We keep classes small so every student gets personal attention, and our open studio hours give members the freedom to create on their own schedule.

  • 8 pottery wheels + hand-building workstations
  • All clay and glaze materials provided
  • Small class sizes — max 10 students
  • Flexible open studio hours for members
  • Private and group event bookings available

"The monthly membership is absolutely worth it. I go three or four times a week, and the open studio hours fit perfectly around my work schedule. The kiln results are always consistent. My apartment is slowly becoming a ceramics gallery."

Rowan Beckett

"Took the 6-week workshop with two friends and it was the highlight of our spring. We learned so much — from centering clay to glazing finished pieces. Came home with mugs, vases, and a completely new hobby. Already signed up for the next round."
