Lakeside Pottery - A rare gem. Whether you?re a beginner, intermediate or novice at pottery, Lakeside Pottery offers it all! Lakeside Pottery has a state of the art studio, with highly skilled and professional instructors that make learning pottery extremely enjoyable. I have been taking classes there for about 11 months. Prior to that time, I never did pottery in my life. I am now at an advanced level working on highly creative and complex projects, and the outcome has exceeded all my expectations! Mike

Getting My Hands Dirty. This past weekend, I did something I've meant to do for quite some time: I checked out Lakeside Pottery. The last time I tried pottery was about 10 years ago. I took a class through a continuing ed program that was not Stamford's. The instructor had little interest in helping out beginners, so I spent a lot of time poking aimlessly at lumps of clay. A very different experience at Lakeside Pottery, for sure. Instructors Patty and Morty were friendly, encouraging, and very clear in their instructions. I left feeling empowered, energized, and excited to go back." Anne

Lakeside Pottery is a ceramic art educational resource for the community who seek to inspire creativity, foster self-discovery, and nurture an appreciation for lifelong learning through thier programs, special events and access to the studio and gallery.

I stumbled upon this wonderful place while looking for a unique activity to do with my husband and 3 children while visiting my parents in Stamford, CT. We set up an hour and a half workshop with one of the pottery teachers, who was warm and caring. He patiently led the five of us through the process of working with clay, how to construct, decorate and design our piece. We had a great time and even my 7 year old achieved a beautiful little lantern that we put a candle in and light each night at dinner! The studio was clean and organized and the other people there, students, artists and other teachers, seemed like they were one big family. The pottery they have on display that the teachers and students have done is beautiful, (the glazes they have are incredible!) and in addition to the sculpting that we did as a family they also teach the potters wheel (they have ten pottery wheels!) to beginners to advanced students. Thats what the kids asked for when we visit again!
