Founded in 1997, Murray Hill Pottery Works is a unique environment dedicated to learning, fun, and the appreciation of clay art. Owner Geralyn Flick has made it her mission to share the joy of creating or purchasing pots you can use – to eat out of, drink out of, and gaze at lovingly.

The working studio accommodates students of all levels, as well as established members, in a 2000+ square foot space on Milwaukee’s East Side. Murray Hill also houses an intimate, well-stocked gallery showing work from seven in-house potters and other favorite ceramic artists.

Engage in the creative process or delight in the finished product – Made at Murray Hill — not China!

 

NEWS FOR JUNE 2009!

Hey all, Glad the winter is gone and we’ll just have to wait for July for Summer to arrive. Lots to report: the pottery space as arranged now seems to work for everyone including the kids! The basement transformation into “kids only” has been tested several times and produced amazing results. 

Spring ceramic eggs multiplied like rabbits for the big, neighborhood egg hunt. But the major project so far this year has been Empty Bowls. Clay hoarding started in January and recycling soon after. By early May, we were ready for the “gang” who created a whopping 850 bowls! They are everywhere now - green, bisqued, glazed, and even on vacation with Jackie May. 

Glazing party will be on the calendar for mid- to late-summer. 

Classes for teachers to facilitate creating handbuilt bowls with their students will be scheduled for sometime in July. Keep checking back here for updates!
