New! At the Midwest Clay Project

Check it out!

Check out the gallery's unique selection of gifts for weddings, graduates and all occasions.  Midwest carries fine handmade ceramics from the region and around the country.  Jackie Matelski, studio manager and in-house potter, is available for commissioned work.

Midwest is available for birthday parties! Midwest Clay Project provides a festive atmosphere and lots of creative activities for kids and/or adults who are celebrating a birthday or any event!  Hand-building and wheel-throwing are both available options and each guest receives a glazed ceramic “MCP Ware” cup as a gift from the studio.  They decorate the studio and provide everything but the cake!  Please call 608-255-9240 to learn more about what is offered.
Fee: $20 per guest (ages 4 and up) for a 2 hour party with up to 12 guests.


Family Fun Fridays run throughout the summer months. Visit http://midwestclayproject.com/ for upcoming events on Friday evenings throughout the summer tailored to families and folks in the community.  From digging local clay to making fun & funky sculpture and pottery, they’re sure to have something in store for you!

The studio is open all day on Saturdays. Stop in anytime on Saturdays to work with clay!  All ages and experience levels welcome from 10am-5pm every Saturday.  The kids’ table is rolling all day and Saturdays are a great time for those registered in a class to take advantage of their free studio time.  You can also use a monthly membership, punch card or just stop in and try a one time visit for $10.

MCP has additional open studio time in June on Monday evenings from 5-9pm for those currently registered in a class or regular adult studio patrons who use a monthly membership or punch card.  Special arrangements for evening family studio visits can be made by calling Midwest Clay Project  – please ask to speak with Jennifer.  Currently during Monday evening hours, the studio and gallery are not open to walk-in business.   
We also have open studio hours on Sundays from 12-6pm for Clay Crew members.  Please see the Clay Crew page at http://midwestclayproject.com/clay-crew/ for details.

Adult summer classes and kids summer programming is underway! Check out the schedule of these very fun classes at http://midwestclayproject.com
