sfclayworks 2020 Make-over

Times passes so quickly. It is unbelievable, but 8-years have passed since sfclayworks opened its doors in the Bayview district of San Francisco. Our initial need for a studio to continue our personal love of clay has blossomed into an amazing community. The collective hard work of all our members and the continued support of our students and community members has helped sustain this vibrant community.
