We can’t wait to welcome you into our space
Friendly City Clay is located in a beautiful, sunlit space inside of the Manufactory Collective, just 5 minutes from downtown Harrisonburg. Our building has plenty of parking, as well as a large green space in the back for outdoor activities.
We have kilns, wheels, and worktables for hand building, as well as flexible classroom space.
Who we are
This project is led by Ros O’Brien, an artist and studio potter who makes nature-inspired pottery from her home studio in Harrisonburg, VA.
Ros is endlessly curious, and has studied a diverse range of ceramic techniques with potters around the globe. She’s also a yoga and meditation teacher, and is deeply interested in the intersection of creativity and mindfulness practice.
Our team is growing, and we welcome more helping hands! Please be in touch if you’d like to be involved.
