Mudskippers Pottery is a family run professional ceramics studio that specializes in after school education. At Mudskippers Pottery we are passionate about teaching affordable ceramics and art education. We work closely with enrichment management companies and PTAs/PTOs to teach our classes across DC, Maryland and Virginia.
Our faculty is comprised of artists and parents which creates a unique staff that truly understands the needs of teaching art to children. We take great pride in our carefully curated art history lessons that accompany each project. Our art history lessons ensure that your students are learning new things each class. Since many of our teachers are parents, we understand how expensive enrichment classes can be. We do everything we can to ensure that we are teaching at the lowest possible tuition prices. All kids deserve a chance to play with clay!
Mudskippers Pottery’s mission is to support our students and teachers by creating opportunities for lifelong learning with ceramic arts. We strive to offer everyone inspiration as well as technical instruction. We are a community based studio created to provide an inclusive environment for artists of all levels. We are passionate about providing affordable ceramics education. At Mudskippers Pottery, we are enriching our communities with an explosion of creativity!
