A Grand Start for Rain City Clay

We had our Grand Opening celebration early April 2022 and have since hit the ground running with a full roster of classes!

We kicked off the day of celebrations with a ribbon cutting ceremony with the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce. The rest of the day was packed with studio tours, fun community activities, live music, and bites from a delicious local food truck (Eat So So Good).
