Pottery Studio

The Grace Hopper ceramics studio is open to all Hopper students.

The studio benefits from the wisdom of Penelope Van Grinsven, College Arts Fellow, and the energy of Hopper’s student managers, who provide basic instruction on the use of the wheels and studio procedures. After an introductory orientation, students will be assigned a key allowing them access to the studio.  Throughout the year, there will be opportunities to attend a hands-on class to learn basic ceramics and pottery techniques.

For more information about the pottery studio or reservations, please contact Angela McCray at angela.mccray@yale.edu  in the Head of College Office.   

For information about ceramics at Hopper, please email Nicole Conway at nic.conway@yale.edu or Yacine Fall at yacine.fall@yale.edu.

General questions about the studio itself may be asked of Angela in the Head of College Office.
