Seward Park Clay Studio

The Place
A Place to Make Art. Located in the most beautiful of Seattle’s Parks, Seward Park Clay Studio has been a vital element in the Northwest’s visual arts community since 1969. At that time, as part of Seattle’s ‘Art in the Parks’ program, the studio had fully subsidized offerings in clay, photography, jewelry making, weaving and printmaking. Countless students and studio artists have enjoyed the old bathhouse on the shores of Lake Washington. The City eventually withdrew funding from these programs, but the clay artists remained and set up a self-supporting clay studio. What better place to make clay art than an old brick building nestled in a park full of old growth trees, beaches and wildlife?

Seward Park Clay Studio has been incorporated as a non-profit educational ceramics institution and run by a Board of directors since 1986.
