Choplet Ceramic Studio (Greenpoint)

Choplet Ceramic Studio welcomes students and artists to learn, create, and connect at our Williamsburg and Greenpoint locations in Brooklyn. Both studios offer ceramic classes and memberships in a friendly, creative environment. Our sister space, Williamsburg Ceramic Center, located just a few blocks away, provides independent studio memberships for experienced ceramic artists.

Our Greenpoint, Brooklyn studio — opened November 1, 2025 — for beginners & advanced students to explore clay through guided instruction & open studio time. Each class fosters creativity, experimentation, & personal expression in a boutique space for comfort & inspiration.

• Our philosophy is to nurture individual expression.

• We do not give “cookie-cutter” assignments but rather encourage students to let their instructor know what they would like to achieve to develop their own original ideas and vision.

• Classes are built around group demonstrations followed by individualized work with teachers.

How long have you been in business? Can you share a bit more about your history?

Choplet Ceramic Studio opened its doors 10.5 years ago. In 2006, Nadeige Choplet opened up the doors of her personal ceramic studio to a few artists and neighbors who expressed an interest in trying a medium they were not familiar with. Since then, Choplet Ceramic Studio expanded and grew to fulfill the needs and interest in clay of the tri-state community but conserved its friendly, homey atmosphere. One of the best compliments to receive from students and members is that Choplet studio has become their second home.

What is your average class size?

Our average class size is 11-13 people for one day workshops, 10 for mold making, up to 8 for wheel throwing intensive.

What is your typical student like? What are their goals?

Our students are typically with no experience and become very serious about clay after a few sessions. We have many success story of students who have quit their job and become full time ceramic artists/designers. Can you recommend activities to do in the neighborhood before or after class? This is Williamsburg. Bars, Restaurants, music venues, bowling, shopping, Park, Smorgasbord on the week end, Craft shows, outdoor swimming in the summer are recommended activities.
