CLAYERCO
POTTERY
STUDIO
ClayerCo was established in 2019, or as founder Clair Buckner says, “6 months BC." (Before Covid.) In spite of the challenges presented by a global pandemic, the small three-room studio thrived, thanks to the dedication of its students, members, and Clair’s positive, cheerful, and frequently humorous perspective. The studio eventually grew to encompass more than 5000 square feet dedicated to clay! It features a spacious, sunlit classroom, a hand-building room, a glaze area, a wheel room, and a designated storage space for members.
In 2023, ClayerCo launched Savannah Ceramic Supply, a retail source for pottery tools and clay, and a storefront featuring works by our studio members. Additionally, ClayerCo opened Ology Gallery - a dedicated space aimed at showcasing and promoting the ceramic arts, along with private studios for clay artists.
There is much to see, do, and experience at ClayerCo. From our engaging workshops and classes to the vibrant community that fills our studio with creativity and camaraderie, every visit promises something new and exciting. Whether you're crafting a one-of-a-kind piece of art, shopping for pottery supplies at Savannah Ceramic Supply, or admiring the stunning works displayed at Ology Gallery, ClayerCo is a haven for all who love the art of ceramics.
