Can you believe it! February, a year ago, Lakeside Pottery opened its doors with a mission:
WHAT STUDENTS SAY:

"...uses an array of ever-growing, quality supplies and seemingly endless creative ideas all wrapped up in a delightful enthusiasm for students & their work"

"To build a pottery studio and school where newcomers to pottery as well as professional artists can come to create pottery in a place with an atmosphere of warmth, sharing and love of pottery."

"To be part of the community and share a portion of the profits to make the community a better and more art-appreciative place."

IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS:
  • Over 400 adults have participated in our pottery programs
  • Over 250 children (ages 8 - 15) have participated in our afternoon and summer camp programs
  • Over 50% of those who are currently enrolled in our winter 8-week programs, took classes with Lakeside Pottery before. What students say
  • We are offering new programs such as, Raku workshops, Wood/Salt firing, teacher-led pottery tour to Japan, Corporate Teambuilding workshops and a unique pottery class of A Journey of Self Discovery.
  • Hundreds of public schools students and several organizations in need have been through our outreach and in-house workshops (e.g., Kids in Crisis) at no charge.
  • Several organization are offering pottery programs to their communities at Lakeside Pottery (see side bar for organizations affiliated with Lakeside Pottery)
  • 15% of Lakeside Pottery profits were (and will continue to be) donated to cultural and art-related causes (auctions, free programs, pottery equipment for the class rooms and more).

If you can think of other ideas that can help us achieve the above mission, please feel free to contact us at 203.323.2222 or via e-mail at morty@lakesidepottery.com

".... it is a very special thing to us to see this child look forward to your class when almost every other class that he has tried has been an unsuccessful experience" A Parent


BIRTHDAY PARTIES

We receive numerous calls every week inquiring about children birthday pottery painting parties. Since we only conduct parties working with clay (requires at least 2-sessions) at Lakeside Pottery, we decided to review local facilities and recommend one for our customers. Lakeside Pottery has chosen to be affiliated with Art & Soul in New Canaan, Paint Your Own Pottery Studio & Bead Bar.

Thank You,
