About Us

We are a non-profit organization offering meaningful employment and opportunities for people of all abilities and backgrounds through art, agriculture, and education.

Making a difference through clay begins with outreach to the community. Volunteers, teachers, potters and students can all find a way to be a part of Old School Farm Pottery. We work with schools, business, and other nonprofit organizations in the surrounding Nashville area to help raise awareness of our mission, set a path for future involvement, and support artists thriving with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 

We offer a wide variety of courses, classes, date-nights, events, private parties, corporate events, and school field trips in our refurbished warehouse studio space in downtown Nashville. In our new space, we offer instruction in ceramics, drawing, painting, and fabrics and fiber arts. Along with our classes and courses, we have a pottery incubator space, The Kiln Post, to provide a location for beginning professional potters to work, find their voice in clay, and lower the entry threshold for pottery. No matter what skill level you have or what art form you are interested in.

All are welcome at Old School Farm Pottery.
