STAY TUNED FOX VALLEY AREA POTTERS
Our Studio
Welcome to Fox Valley Clay, a new pottery community built for creativity, connection, and real life. Founded by a husband-and-wife team excited to share their love of clay. Fox Valley Clay is designed to be a welcoming place where both beginners and experienced makers can slow down, get their hands dirty, and create work they’re proud of.
We’re opening our first location this fall in Aurora and are inviting the community to help shape what comes next. Have a neighborhood you’d love to see a studio built? Don’t forget to vote for your ideal location.
