The Wheel House of New Hampshire
Clay gets under your nails here — and, let's be honest, sometimes it spins right off the wheel too. Tucked into Portsmouth's West End, this is art you can touch: messy, hands-on, and open to anyone willing to give it a try, whether you're picking up clay for the first time or you've been throwing for years. Come find your seat at the table or wheel.

Studio Membership
With membership benefits, you don't need a class on the calendar to come make something. Just stop by whenever the studio's open, sit down with your own project, and work at whatever pace feels right that day.
Glad you found us
Maybe work's been a lot lately. Maybe you just want an hour or two where nobody needs anything from you. Maybe you've been throwing for years and you're just looking for people to do it with. Whatever brought you here, we're glad it did.
The Wheel House was started by two families who noticed something missing: Portsmouth had plenty of ways to make art, but nowhere built specifically around pottery — a place to actually belong to, not just visit once. We wanted somewhere that:
- Welcomed you on day one, whether you'd never touched clay or you'd been elbow-deep in it for twenty years.
- Felt like a community first and a class schedule second.
- Gave people a reason to keep coming back — for the clay, and for each other.
That's how The Wheel House came to be. Come see what you make here, and who you make it with.
