The YAY CLAY! Origin Story

Yay Clay! Started in 2008 with two pottery wheels and two passions: clay and teaching. Today we support a dozen professional artists and teach over a hundred students each week. Our studio has evolved into a collaborative, unique, and inclusive experience for first-time visitors and members alike.

Get to know us better

Yay Clay! is in the heart of the art community of Port Richmond. You can find us in ‘The Loom South’ building, where all your creative energy can run free. The Loom is host to the largest collection of artisans in The City of Brotherly Love. Yay Clay! is a proud part of a community that is committed to keeping the artistic legacy in Port Richmond alive. That’s why our Clay Dates and kids’ classes have become a “Go-To” for so many in Philly looking to expand their creativity. Visit our class section to book a date or find out more in our FAQs.
