ThePottery is a welcoming outdoor studio where adults can create with clay. Our relaxing environment encourages creative freedom, and whether you’re a novice or an old pro, you’ll get inspiration from being with others who love what they are doing. No matter what you create — functional or decorative, two-dimensional or sculptural, colorful or natural — the work you produce is uniquely yours. There’s nothing like letting go of your worries and making something with your hands. So come feel the mud!

How to Get There?
All workshops are held at ThePottery Studio,
under the big blue canopy at:
Borrego Springs High School
2281 Diegueno Road, Borrego Springs, CA 92004.
Use the parking lot on Cahuilla Road.
Be aware that our studio is outside, with exposure to the elements and limited shade. If the weather conditions are extreme, we will have to adjust the schedule.
ThePottery Mark
Artists working at ThePottery can now use the Borrego Art Institute branding mark. Our pottery members upheld the tradition of marking their pottery individually, but now they can also add this mark to show the studio and location it was made in.
Pretty soon, you can collect pottery made by a BAI pottery member.
Turn it upside down and look for this mark on the bottom!
TheGallery has a permanent spot for ThePottery to showcase the latest work our members are creating. Stop by and see what is coming in. Great affordable pricing makes these items wonderful gifts!
