WHAT IS CLAY COMMONS?

Clay Commons was created as a space for people to discover their artistic potential. We have two Port Hope locations ready to welcome the community.

We offer art classes of all kinds, hand-building, paint a piece, stained glass workshops, private events, date nights and more! 

ABOUT US

Hi! Welcome! We’re Amanda and Nicki, founders of Clay Commons. We met at a local annual music festival in 2021 and began playing with clay together. We decided we wanted to create a space where we could help share our love of clay and foster creativity and community in the town we love so much. We are looking forward to getting to know you all!
