Byrdie’s is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community ceramics studio in New Orleans.

Located in the Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans since 2010, Byrdie’s is a place for the community to explore clay arts. We offer classes, membership, and a storefront shop for members to sell their pottery.

Classes

We offer a variety of classes - from single “try it” sessions to 8-week offerings, there is be something for just about everyone.

If you’d like to be notified when we announce classes, sign up for our email list above.

Membership

Studio membership is for folks with experience in ceramics and offers unlimited access to the studio, equipment, and glazes.

Our community is a vibrant one with members ranging from hobbyists to working artists and everything in between.

Shop

Our storefront shop features work made in the studio by members. From wheelthrown mugs to hand-coiled sculptural work - you’ll find a spectrum of clay expression here.

We’re open Fridays 3-6, Saturdays 12-6, and Sundays 12-6, stop by!

A percentage of our shop revenue this quarter (October, November, December) will be donated to Jane Place New Orleans.
