Portland is a mecca of creativity, with its downtown galleries, artist studios, and imaginative community programs. After experiencing everything from photography to fine paintings, it is not unusual for visitors to want to let their own artistic side have free reign.

Those with a passion for pottery can look to pottery studios, supply stores, and community pottery classes where clay and sculpture is the focus.
