Hello McMinnville and Yamhill County! We’re opening our doors for the very first time the weekend of August 1st, and our first step is to invite the community in to make something that we'll use to decorate our space. For the first four Saturday afternoons in August, we welcome you to join us at our new studio to paint ceramic tiles that will bring life to our pottery studio. We’ll have everything ready for you: bisque-fired tiles, underglazes, brushes, and a few big tables.

Inspired by the quilted barn tiles that dot the landscapes of Yamhill County, these tiles will mark the people the hands that got us to this point, while celebrating community, place, and handmade craft. We can’t wait see you! Come by and see what we're all about!

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.
