Note: The address is 16 Pike St. Covington Ky. I've been attending classes here since March 2013 with my 20-year-old daughter. We both love it. The owner is knowledgeable and an experienced teacher. We've taken both wheel throwing and hand building. He has experience at the college level and elementary school level and runs an open studio. We've enjoyed the curriculum which shows us technique, suggests a project, and then allows us to pursue our own ideas, with the instructors guidance. He also shares source books for inspiration. I just finished a large pinch pot by paddling it which was thorougly enjoyable process and end result! I am now working on a large chinese garden lantern which I designed and consulted with the owner/instructor on how to execute it. Glazing class is always the last class of the session. It's magical when you come back to pick up your pots and pieces and see how they are transformed by glaze! We looked at other studios in town but chose Covington Clay because they allow 24 hour access to the studio. The owner is also generous in using the working studio. We've studied with other artist who separated their studios into class areas and artist-only. Rick is generous and shares the studio with warm hospitality. Its also fun to meet the other students who range in all ages and backgrounds. We highly recommend Covington Clay!
