Fountain Square Clay Center, Indianapolis

Fountain Square Clay Center has turned the ordinary into the extraordinary. The pottery studio operates out of an old industrial building that used to make car parts and packing peanuts. Now, it helps people express their creativity through clay. Classes teach students how to form clay pots and vases through every step of the process, from molding to trimming and glazing. You can learn the basics in a one-night course or use 25 pounds of clay to build your own sentient ceramic army during seven-week courses.
