Nestled in the woods of Truro, Amy Kandall has built a ceramic studio offering an inspiring environment for makers to find a practice and themselves.
The studio accommodates class sizes of up to 10, providing natural light and space for creativity to grow and community to flourish.
Equipped with two new Bailey front loader Kilns, a slab roller, and four potter’s wheels and lots of table space, this studio is set up for making. We offer spacious storage areas for students to keep their work in progress. Tools are organized and accessible for communal use. There is able parking along Deer Path which is steps from our main entrance.
In the warm months our garage doors are often open bringing the outside in. Our communal BBQ gets lots of use, as this campus is always buzzing with creative social time to share ideas. A large house on the property is available to our Artists in Residence program. This program is currently taking application for this October. (See our residency tab for details)

The teacher is required to deliver comprehensive instruction in coil building, slab construction, pinching and Kurinuki.
The goal: to give students the tools of each building method described in the class to harness artistic independence and to meet the needs of each individual student so that they can be successful. It is the teacher's job to ensure that students store their work individually to foster educational dry maintenance and judicious use of space. Encouraging students to put their name and date on every item going through the fire.
Studio management description
It is a daily requirement of the teacher to keep the studio organized and wiped down, keeping tools in organized and labeled containers.
Weekly mopping of the whole space is required as well as emptying the buckets in the sinks to maintain the health of the septic. Weekly recycling of clay by drying out reclaim on plaster bats for the pug mill is also required. The teacher is required to fire their students greenware.
Communication
The teacher is required to email with students when needed to remind them of knowledge they need, upcoming dates or changes.
The teacher is required to email the owner if students have special requests or if there’s an event that took place in class that needs to be known. The teacher is responsible for a weekly (Sunday) post on the instagram/ facebook for promotional purposes
At the conclusion of every month-long class, a formal meeting of what worked and didn’t work will be arranged between the owner and the teacher to document curriculum and best practice moving forward.
