ABOUT US

The Clay Trail community pottery studio has beginner classes, trial classes and a lot of fun workshops to choose from!

It is owned by Britney Gibson. She fell in love with clay in college at Mars Hill University where she was the studio assistant for her work study. Learning all the ends and outs of a working studio.

She owns Dirty Jeans Pottery, which you will find in our gallery.

We want to build a pottery community that brings people together. A community of potters that inspire and support each other.
