A working mill, three floors of clay

Stoneware made slowly, by hand, in the old mill on Weaver's Creek

We throw, glaze, and fire every mug, bowl, and platter in our studio — then sell the season's collection in the gallery downstairs. Come watch the wheels turn, take a class, or commission a set for your table.

Our story

Three floors, one wheel room, and a lot of patience

Claysmith Studio took over the old Weaver's Mill in 2014 — the water-power floor is now our glaze room, the carding floor holds twelve wheels, and the top floor is the gallery, lit by the original sawtooth windows.

Every piece that leaves here has been touched by hand more than a dozen times: thrown or built, trimmed, bisque-fired, glazed, fired again. Nothing is cast, nothing is rushed.

What we do

Three ways into the studio

Colorful stoneware displayed at the gallery entrance

Shop the gallery

A seasonal collection of mugs, bowls, planters, and dinnerware, changing with the light and the glaze tests each quarter.

Take a class

Wheel-throwing and hand-building, beginner through advanced, taught in small groups on the mill's second floor.

Set of handmade stoneware plates and bowls

Commission a set

Custom dinnerware for restaurants and wedding registries, glazed to match your palette and thrown to your scale.

Every piece is fired in our two kilns at the base of the mill — small batches, so no two seasons of glaze look quite the same.

“We ordered a full 60-piece set for the restaurant and Claysmith matched our sauce to the glaze. Guests ask about the plates more than the food.”

Come sit at the wheel

Whether you want a mug for your kitchen, a set for your restaurant, or an afternoon learning to center clay — the studio door is open Tuesday through Sunday.
