About Us

Located in the Boho building in downtown McMinnville, our 1,400 square foot studio and gallery is a new townsquare for all things ceramic. Yamhill County is having an artistic renaisance right now, and we aim to further elevate our community by providing a clean, warm and professional ceramics studio. We offer classes, workshops and private events, in addition to selling pottery and merchandise.

Studio Details:

We fire both of our two kilns to Cone-6, a temperature where we can make food-safe, functional pieces alongside strong sculptural works. Our students have access to an ever expanding Cone-6 glaze library, along with underglazes and oxides. We use two different white clays in the studio -- a porcelaneous B-Mix, and another B-Mix with a small percentage of grog in it. 

Our studio is set up to serve hand building artists as well as wheel-throwing artists. We currently have seven pottery wheels, a slab roller, an extruder, and we’re still growing our capabilities. 

Coming This Summer To McMinnville

Mac Clay is the first ceramic studio solely focused on classes, workshops and events in McMinnville. We believe in strengthening community by stoking conversations and deepening understanding of ceramic practice — whether wheel throwing technique, pinch pots, Instagram trends or pre-historic forms. Wherever you are on your ceramic journey, we will meet you at the place where curiosity, passion and technique find form.
Think of Mac Clay as a town square for all things ceramic. Whether you’re taking a multiweek class at our Downtown location, attending a weekend masterclass, or reserving space in the studio for the day, we exist to help you access the magic of clay creation. Our mission is to serve both the beginner and advanced studio potter in a safe, vibrant environment. But there’s more: we don’t only make beautiful things; we explore new dimensions of ourselves and how we relate to each other. Mac Clay is honored to enter a conversation with the Yamhill County area. So follow along as we kick off a series of events that introduce ourselves while recentering a craft that developed lock-step with humanity itself.
