Clay Space Ceramic Studio

Clay Space Ceramic Studio is Castro Valley's newest community ceramics studio, founded by Halley and Jason DeBonis — two self-described beginners who fell in love with clay and never looked back! What started as a single date-night pottery class blossomed into a shared passion for creating with their hands and the warm, inclusive community that naturally grows around it. Noticing that Castro Valley was missing a dedicated space for makers to gather, they built one themselves.At Clay Space, everyone belongs — whether it's someone's very first time touching clay or a seasoned potter looking to deepen their practice. The studio was designed to be the kind of place where complete beginners feel completely at ease, creativity is encouraged at every level, and the people around the wheel are just as much a part of the experience as the clay itself. It's more than a studio; it's a community!
