Tacoma Clay

Tacoma Clay is a ceramics and pottery studio that opened in March 2025, led by owner Lucy Nilan, who makes functional, colorful home goods in cone 5-6 porcelain with underglazes. The studio is a teaching space at its core, with classes for all ages and skill levels, along with drop-in studio hours, firing services and tiered memberships.

Limited spaces are available for private rental members with 24-hour access, and resident artist spaces are offered. Private lessons, events and one-time experiences can be booked when available. Hours run through the week with Tuesday mostly by appointment or for a 6-9pm class, and Sunday afternoons are a shorter day. The studio is on Tacoma Avenue South in Tacoma.
