Ceramic Studio by Coninety

Run by artisans. Designed for learning.

CoSpace is a working ceramic studio built alongside Coninety.

While Coninety presents finished works by ceramic artists, CoSpace is where the process of making takes place.

We keep our classes small and focused. Students work directly with clay — learning through repetition, adjustment, and observation rather than quick outcomes.

The studio supports both beginners and those looking to refine their practice over time.

  • Run by Ceramic Artists

    CoSpace is run by people who actually work with clay.

    Our teachers come from wheel throwing and contemporary handbuilding backgrounds,
    with over 20 years of experience.

    You’re learning from how they really make — not a fixed curriculum.

  • Built on Practice

    We believe ceramics takes time.

    Classes focus on repetition, consistency, and understanding how clay behaves.

    Make, adjust, and make again — that’s where things start to click.

  • Connected to Coninety

    CoSpace grew out of Coninety, after five years of working with local ceramic artists.

    The studio extends that into making — and occasionally brings those artists into the space for workshops.

what is it?

Wheel Throwing

Wheel throwing is the process of shaping clay on a spinning wheel.

You work with your hands to center the clay, then slowly pull and form it into shapes like bowls, cups, and vases.

It takes time to build control, but once it clicks, it becomes a very intuitive and fluid way of making.

what is it?

Handbuilding

Handbuilding is working with clay without a wheel.

Using techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab building, you shape pieces more directly by hand.

It allows for more flexibility in form — from simple functional pieces to more sculptural or expressive work.

where to start?

Dilemma

Many people begin with handbuilding first — it’s a good way to get familiar with the clay before learning to control it on the wheel.
