Ian Petrie’s (Ian M Petrie) comic inspired tableware has arrived in our Functional Gallery!💥

“Ian spends his time making pots when he is sick of the soul-crushing neatness of paper/ink, and drawing comics when he can no longer stand the sight of an endless barrage of dinnerware.”

Add one of his pieces to your collection, shop with the link in our bio⛓️‍💥

Last week, our Head Curator and Executive Director led a trip to the Venice Biennale as part of The Clay Studio’s Travel Program!

We saw some incredible artwork in Venice, including the work of Resident Artist alumni, Adebunmi Gbadebo. Swipe through to see some of the Galleries and artworks we experienced at the Venice Biennale and Homo Faber.

We were excited to be joined by some friends from the Fabric Workshop and Museum, and had fabulous tours led by Context Travel.

Next year’s trip is to Asheville. Stay tuned for more information about our next adventure!
