a community pottery studio with a retail space to buy handmade ceramic mugs, cups, plates, and bowls in nelson, bc

“A place to have fun and get muddy.”

That’s what we wanted to create when we got the keys to 604 Josephine Street in the Spring of 2023. Since then, the club has blossomed into a vibrant space hosting 15+ members, many new and returning students, volunteers helping out around the studio & 4+ instructors leading everything from date nights and hand-building workshops to after-school programs and private lessons.

Memberships are available to those who have completed one of our multi-week classes or have had similar experience at another studio.

In addition to being a studio space, we also offer retail hours for you to purchase pieces made by artists and instructors at MUD.

The shop is open Wednesday-Saturday every week from 11 am-3 pm.

Thank you for supporting small, and local!
