We’re Moving to South Lake Union
A New Home for Clay, Community, and Joy - Opening Fall 2026
For nearly 60 years, Pottery Northwest has championed the ceramic arts through innovation in education and arts excellence. Once more, we’re poised to elevate Seattle’s ceramics scene with a state-of-the-art clay studio in the heart of South Lake Union that is welcoming, inclusive, and accessible.
More than a relocation, this is a bold re-imagining of what a modern ceramics institution can be — and what Seattle deserves.
Our 10,000 sqft. facility will feature:
• Light-filled studios with street-level retail gallery
• Large studio classrooms and plentiful storage
• Exhibitions, artist talks, and workshops
• ADA design with health and safety systems
• Safe and accessible location
• Free parking, EV charging, and bike storage
“The new facility strengthens Seattle’s creative economy by expanding opportunities and is a stable foundation for long-term community building.
- Ed King, Executive Director
Be Bold.
Build Joy.
To bring this vision to life, Pottery Northwest invites you to Be Bold & Build Joy with a $2.1 million relocation campaign to fund the construction and activation of our new home. Join our journey by investing in a ceramics institution that celebrates creativity, accessibility, and belonging — laying the groundwork for decades of sustainability and impact.
Where is the
new location?
Located at 2250 7th Avenue (corner of 7th& Bell), the new facility joins creative neighbors JazzEd and Gage Academy of Art, establishing South Lake Union as a new arts hub in Seattle’s downtown core.
