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 all we wanted to create when we got the keys to 604 Josephine Street in the Spring of 2023. Less than a year later, the club has blossomed to 15 members with 3 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 at MUD. The shop is open Wednesday-Saturday every week from 11am-3pm.
