Wheelhouse

Mill Valley Potter’s Studio specializes in pottery and ceramic arts education. The studio offers award-winning classes and workshops in Marin County for adult and kids.

We often host guest artists and lecturers from around the world. Our studio is available for private parties of all ages. And we have a sister studio called Wheelhouse for members that ‘want to do their own thing’ and create work to sell.

Jennie Dito, a local ceramic enthusiast, founded MVPS in 2011 and Wheelhouse in 2016. She wanted to offer a creative service for the community. Inspired by the therapeutic properties of working in clay – she opened the studio to share this creative process that can slow you down. She is making ceramics accessible to all and building an artist community in the heart of Tam Junction.

Find our studio inside the gates of California Native Plant Nursery, and enjoy the beautiful surrounding garden. Sign up for a class, relax, make friends, and enjoy a new creative outlet!
