MIY Ceramics is a South Florida open-door studio and learning center for folks interested in making their own pottery without having to set up a costly home studio. We're a unique playground for recreational potters, clay enthusiasts and pottery artists of all skill levels who come to our studio to make pottery, sharpen skills or learn to make pottery.

Skilful potters or novices use our facilities to make pottery under a flexible access plan. If you want to unwind, meet other people that have "clay in common" and be inspired by a constant flow of artistic ideas join this group. Our communal environment will help you gain new skills or enhance existing ones as you work, bond with other potters and exchange pottery making expertise and ideas. We provide all you need: ....classes, space, wheels, tools, clay, glazes, kiln's firings, support... You provide the talent!

Facilities the main room of our 1500 sq. feet studio is an open space fitted with many workstations for handbuilding, slab making, throwing and glazing. We are outfitted with a 22" slab roller, a 4" extruder, various concrete wedging tables plus a mixture of tools, molds and glazes. We have an environment-friendly special sink for recycling clay and 3 state-of-the-art electric kilns that can fire up to cone 10. The well ventilated kiln and green ware room, separated from the main room, has direct access to our fenced backyard which is used for clay reclamation and glazing. We provide a wide variety of clay bodies and glazes (commercially and studio made) and different firing methods. We offer crates for personal tools plus ample space for work-in-progress, bisque ware and display of finished pieces. We also have Glass Fusing capabilities and a program for those interested in making dichroic glass jewelry and artwork.
