    Exciting changes for Ceramics in 2025!

    New locations, new materials, same creative community

    • Now through July 3, 2025 — Winter/Spring ceramics classes will continue at 92NY’s main location (1395 Lexington Ave) using stoneware clay.
    • Starting July 21, 2025 — As we begin an exciting renovation of our ceramics studios, all Summer and Fall 2025 ceramics classes will move to our temporary location at 4 E. 90th Street (Church of the Heavenly Rest). During this time, we’ll introduce terra cotta clay, a warm and expressive material with a rich history, along with majolica glazing, known for its bright white surface and vibrant, painterly colors.
    • Winter 2026 — We anticipate returning to our new, fully refurbished Ceramics studios on the third floor of our main campus.

    Learn more about all the art center renovations.
