Bay Haven Ceramics

We are at 768 Stewart Ct, in Alameda, California. The space is huge, with… 

• An open space for retail

• Seven offices (private studios…?)

• A large warehouse space that will be perfect for classes

• A little annex for our kiln room

​​

The location is excellent — off the beaten path, tucked away on a side street covered in gorgeous blackberry vines for summer snacking. We even have our own little entrance to Jean Sweeney Open Space. And the cyclists among you will love the bike path that goes right to our door.

Sometime in early 2026, but we’re not sure of the exact date. Join the mailing list for updates.

We’re looking to soft-launch in January with a small cohort of hand-picked potters whom we know well.  We’re hoping this small group of early adopters will give us useful feedback so we have everything we need for our grand opening.

We’ll offer multiple levels of wheel-throwing and hand building classes to start, focusing on beginner and mixed-level classes.  As we grow, we’ll add advanced and special topics classes and workshops.

We also intend to offer low-commitment ways for folks to try pottery, like “try-it” classes and drop-in hand building.

Maybe! We are still working out those details.

Yes! We will have two electric kilns to start, and will start offering firing services sooner rather than later. We will bisque to cone 06 and glaze fire to cone 5-6. Pricing TBD.

We love our community and we can use all the help we can get. We’ll be organizing a few work parties over the next few weeks to prep the space.  Please join the mailing list if you’d like to be notified.

We aren’t hiring yet, but send us an email with what you have in mind.

Great! Drop us an email or message us on Instagram: @bayhavenceramics
