The Clay Cavern is located in the basement of the Austin ArtWorks Center and is shared studio and class space. How does it work? Drop in during our Wednesday Open Clay Studio to get a tour and a guide to getting started in ceramics. Previous experience, or a recent class in wheel throwing is required to throw on the wheel. No previous experience necessary for handbuilding. The first visit is free and includes a 1lb ball of clay, so you can try it out and feel if the space is right for you. From there, you can purchase your own bag of clay from us- we currently use a Midfire White from Minnesota Clay and a 25lb bag costs $60 (starting January 1st, 2025) which includes unlimited firings and access to all of our glazes. Members have unlimited access to the space at no extra charge. If you are not a member, each visit will cost $5 (after your first free visit).
Inspiring innovation, connecting creativity, celebrating culture. Providing quality arts and culture experiences to 20,000 people every year.
