Happy Sunday, Third Coast Clay community!
Just a reminder to all students and members: our Spring Studio Purge will take place Saturday, June 20 through Sunday, June 21.
Please make sure to remove all personal clay, tools, materials, and artwork from the studio by FRIDAY, JUNE 19th. Any items left behind after that date will be recycled, repurposed, or discarded as part of our mid-year studio reset.
This annual cleanout helps us create a fresh, organized space for everyone to enjoy during the second half of the year.
We’re also looking for volunteers to help with moving, organizing, cleaning, and possibly smashing some abandoned artwork on Saturday, June 20 from 8AM–4PM. Whether you can spare an hour or stay for the whole day, we’d greatly appreciate your help. Feel free to bring along friends or family members who would like to lend a hand.
Thank you for helping us keep Third Coast Clay a welcoming and functional space for our entire community! 🫶🏼

We’re excited to welcome Austin-based ceramic artist Sarah German to Third Coast Clay on August 1–2!
In this hands-on two-day artist workshop, Sarah will share her process for creating colorful, architecturally inspired pottery using colored clay and woven coil techniques. You’ll learn how she develops her patterns, constructs intricate woven forms, and combines them with functional vessels to create pieces that are both delicate and strong.
Whether you’re looking to explore new building techniques or find fresh inspiration in your clay practice, this workshop is sure to spark new ideas!
Reserve your spot today through our website under Artist Workshops!

May was such a busy and exciting month for us here at Third Coast Clay!
✨ We kicked off the month celebrating AAPI Heritage Month with our very own instructor and TCC Founder, Lotus Bermudez. Her beautiful sign wrap installation at Bagby Park transformed the iconic MIDTOWN letters into a vibrant reflection of family history, cultural memory, and the experience of being Tex-Asian in Houston. We are so proud to see her work showcased in the heart of our city.
🥣 We also had the honor of supporting Empty Bowls Houston as a sponsor. Our members, students, and instructors came together to donate hundreds of handmade bowls to help fight food insecurity in our community.
Along the way, several members of our clay community helped raise awareness for the event:
• Instructor Everett Johnson demonstrated pottery on CW39 Houston
• Member Brian Mitchell appeared on Houston Life (Channel 2)
• Studio member Adam Blount was featured in the Houston Chronicle after reaching an incredible milestone of 100 donated bowls
Because of the generosity of so many artists, volunteers, sponsors, and attendees, Empty Bowls Houston raised an incredible total of $102,351.55 for the Houston Food Bank—the highest amount raised in the event’s 20-year history—providing the equivalent of more than 307,000 meals for those in need.
Thank you to everyone who helped make May such a meaningful month. We are grateful to be part of a community that celebrates art, culture, and giving back. ❤️
