La Mano Pottery

The new space at 110 West 26th Street officially opened its doors on Monday, January 16th. Stop by and say hello!

Please note that the start dates for all classes were moved by one or two weeks. Check the classes page for details. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we wanted to make sure everything was in order before classes got underway.

Thanks to everyone who has been helping with setting up the new space! It's a lot of work, but we know it's going to be worth it.

At various times over the past 13 years the idea of a bigger and better space has crept into our conversations about the business. We all saw the potential for something better...and we made inquiries here and there, but then just kept on making pots.

Then one day, this past Spring, a nice space just two doors down had a "For Rent" sign. We rushed to see it and that got us started again. We asked the broker to show us some comparable spaces and did the big spread sheet with all the pluses and minuses of each place we saw. We finally came to one that fit a lot of our criteria-with lots of space, about 2.5 times what we have now. Plus, when we walked into that storefront, we saw a huge cord hanging from the ceiling with a tag on it that said "220V 3 phase"-just what we wanted for a new big kiln. It was a sign! This was it.

Our new address will be 110 West 26th Street, between 6th and 7th Avenues. It was a totally raw space when we leased it, but has been under renovation for the past month and we are expecting it to be done really soon!
