Mankato Community Education

Purchase a punch card and clay coupon (each sold separately) to use the Pottery Studio facilities and supplies.

Each day you come is 1 use.

Our pottery lab is equipped with potter's wheels, slab roller, extruder, hand building tools, glazes, greenware storage, and electric kilns. This is not an instructional class. Artists should be able to use the studio and equipment independently, however a studio supervisor will be present for technical questions.

In our studio, you pay based on use. We only allow clay sold by our studio. We know the products we use / sell to students are safe for our kilns and will produce a good quality product.

The studio, managed by Mankato Community Education Leisure + Enrichment Program keeps in inventory high quality supplies and equipment for artist use. The studio and CE cannot be held responsible for work that in the process of drying or firing is damaged or broken. 

Our studio is available for independent artist use in part because of volunteers and funding provided by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
