Ceramic Souls is a 24/7 pottery studio in East Nashville where creativity and connection thrive. Our flexible memberships are designed to fit your schedule and skill set—whether you’re crafting occasionally or diving into clay daily—all within a soulful, supportive space that fosters community and growth.
We offer four different membership levels: Clay Explorer, Clay Artisan, Clay Connoisseur, and Teen Explorer. All memberships come with a long list of features and benefits, including access to the Student & Member Portal, where you can track your pieces, discounts on classes and workshops, and access to the studio's premium tools and glazes.
You can also change your membership level at any time to accommodate your clay journey. And did we mention we're dog-friendly?
Note: membership requires prior ceramics/pottery experience, independent studio skills, and a commitment to cleanliness.
