The Buffalo Clayart Center was established in 1997 by Ed Poe as a cooperatively organized, membership-driven working pottery studio in Buffalo, NY.

In 2025 under new ownership, the Buffalo Clayart Center expanded to include a brand new Teaching Studio facility.

We offer excellent facilities to serious hobbyists working in clay.
