Summer Avenue Art and Clay

"I am very impressed. I went there to ask about learning to throw pottery on a wheel. The knowledgeable lady took the time to research the quality of my wheel, my experience and then to top it off, I was given a very detailed short lesson on wedging, throwing, centering and then creating as well as a tour of her studio. I was not charged a penny. I wish to thank you Ma’am and I am eagerly looking forward to my new venture. Call me. Melanie Wildes"

"My girlfriend and I have been members here for several months and love the space. The owners have become good friends and the studio is a delightful resource for us to make ceramic art. If you've wanted to find a full-time studio, or interested in taking beginner classes, this is your spot!"

"Summer Avenue Art and Clay fills a creative void in the heart of an old school area of Memphis, from the rare supplies it offers artists & teachers all over the Mid-South region to the very talented and dedicated staff to the since of community it offers all that come through the front door."

"Memphis has been needing a place like this for years. Clay orders, glazes, studio space, rent by month space, wheels and even student packets to work at home. The mud lovers are kind and the owners are knowledgeable and will order what you need. I am completely in love my space here and have taken my grand children to classes."

"This is month three for me as a studio member, and I love it. They have everything I need for hand-building, and they fire regularly so I also bring in stuff I make at home. There’s a true community feel about it, which is so needed “in these unprecedented times.” Big enough to spread out, small enough to get to know each other. And affordable ❤️❤️.."
