What is The Refinery?

The Refinery is a nonprofit community pottery and art studio that provides diverse art experiences and nurtures artists at all skill levels.

We offer memberships for artists ready to get started on their own, classes in clay for those seeking more guidance in their creative journey, and nonprofit programming designed to make clay accessible to those who stand to gain the most from its mental health benefits.
