Dubuque Pottery Studio

Dubuque Pottery Studio is a pottery studio in Dubuque, IA. The studio welcomes beginners and offers one-time classes, private date nights, pottery painting, four-week courses, and twenty-four hour access studio memberships. Classes cover handbuilding, wheel throwing, and pottery painting, with memberships ranging from one class per month at sixty-five dollars to three classes plus round-the-clock studio access, dedicated shelf space, and glaze and firing for up to twenty pieces at two hundred dollars. Pottery painting walk-ins are available on Wednesdays from 1 to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., starting at twenty dollars for a chosen piece. Custom orders and private events are available by appointment.

Founded by Kyla Glendenning, the studio is a female-owned space built around the idea that creativity brings people together. It is designed as much as a community gathering place as a classroom, with instruction aimed at helping visitors build real skills and gain confidence on the wheel or at the handbuilding table. Memberships are structured to keep members consistently creative rather than treating pottery as a one-time experience, with shelf space and firing included at the higher tiers. Custom orders and events can be arranged by emailing [email protected] or calling (563) 214-0401.

The studio sits on Central Avenue near East 5th Street and West 5th Street, about a tenth of a mile from the Julien Dubuque public artwork and a similar distance from the Dubuque Rescue Mission Garden.

Dubuque Pottery Studio holds a rating of 5.00 based on customer reviews. For anyone in Dubuque looking to try the wheel, paint a piece, or build a steady creative habit, Kyla Glendenning's studio offers a beginner-friendly entry point with room to grow.
