About Kingston Ceramics Studio
We are a welcoming community clay studio offering weekly group pottery classes for adults and kids, private ceramics lessons for pairs, parties for groups, and open studio time for students and artists. We host clay workshops to teach special topics with guest artists and provide firing services for local artists with home studios.
No matter your experience, skill level, or age, if you have an interest in clay you've found the right place! We have a bright, open, clean, organized, and well-stocked studio.
A team of wonderfully talented instructors and dedicated assistants keep our studio an exciting place to try a new hobby or deepen your knowledge and expand your practice.
We sell gift certificates so that you can share the studio experience, and we sell ceramic work made by our instructors, members and assistants so that you can give one-of-a-kind handmade gifts to those you love, including yourself.
We value connection with community, creativity, and clay, and look forward to sharing that with you.
About Lex Feldheim
Alexis Feldheim opened Kingston Ceramic Studio in April of 2017 in Kingston's Midtown Arts District's Shirt Factory. With degrees in education and ceramics, experience in ceramic studio management, and an active ceramic practice of her own, Lex had all the skills necessary to make KCS the successful studio it has become.
Enthusiastically supported by a community eager to get their hands in clay, KCS doubled its space within a year! Further expansion happened just as Covid got serious and Lex had to close the door for four months. Lex rearranged the studio and created new policies to provide a safe environment for KCS's reopening in July of 2020. Since then the studio has continued to grow.
When asked why she opened KCS, Lex said, "Because I love ceramics, teaching, and being part of a community. I've lived in Kingston since 2010, and love this city because of its creative community and beautiful surroundings in the Hudson Valley."
