Your teacher
Quintal Clay is a one-of-a-kind ceramics studio tucked into the hillside of Encino, Los Angeles — a place where making something by hand feels less like a class and more like an afternoon you’ll want to keep coming back to! Founded by Andrea Nhuch, a Brazilian-born MFA artist who has taught ceramics at Mount Saint Mary’s University, Quintal Clay is set on the flagstone terrace of her 1959 midcentury home, with the San Fernando Valley stretching out behind you and tea and cookies on the table. Quintal, as Andrea will tell you, is Portuguese for backyard — and that’s exactly the spirit of it.Small groups gather here to learn handbuilding from scratch — pinching, coiling, slab-building — with no wheel, no prior experience, and no pressure. Whether you’re joining a four- or six-week course, a holiday workshop to make gifts in time for the season, or a private experience like Wine & Clay with friends, Quintal Clay welcomes everyone with the warmth of a working artist’s home and the generous, unhurried creativity of a Brazilian arts collective. Come as you are; leave with something you actually made!
