Welcome to our studio web site!

Mudslingers Pottery Studio began as a collaboration between John Hansen, a professional potter and teacher for 25 years, and several of his former students. We opened our first studio with classes starting in the Fall of 1997. John has developed a definitive teaching style and class atmosphere that emphasizes individual hands-on assistance, openness and fun. Our pottery teachers are not only exceptional potters but (most importantly) helpful and encouraging to students at all levels. We love getting muddy and want you to enjoy it too!

Mudslingers expanded in 2001 with the acquisition of gas and wood-fueled kilns and rental studio space. We are currently seeking to purchase or lease commercial or rural residential property near our Louisville classroom facility to accomodate professional studio space and kilns.

Many wonderful pieces are available for purchase at our on site gallery. Come peruse the beautiful and affordable collection of pottery produced by teachers, members and accomplished students. Just give us a call or stop by and we'll help you find the decorative and/or functional piece you've been looking for!

Mudslingers offers studio space on a monthly basis to more experienced potters as well as a variety of classes for all levels including children. Our studio in Louisville is available to special groups for exclusive use for birthdays, scouts projects and team-building workshops. We encourage you to experience the pleasure of an original art form and get back to muddy!
