our ethos
At Studio Fundamentals in Vancouver, we put the creative process at the heart of everything we do. Our pottery classes and workshops are rooted in the belief that true growth, innovation, and fulfillment come from the journey — not just the final piece. We value learning by doing, taking the time to explore, experiment, and evolve through clay.
While finished work matters, it’s the hands-on practice, mistakes, and breakthroughs along the way that shape real skills and deeper understanding. That’s why our learning environment emphasizes patience, curiosity, and progress over perfection. Here, every step forward is worth celebrating — and every setback is just part of becoming better.
At Studio Fundamentals, we’re not just teaching pottery. We’re building a culture of intention, resilience, and creativity — one thoughtful process at a time.

As a pottery beginner I never expected my bowls to end up so well! Such a great experience, with detailed and patience guidance from May Ann. I have already recommended the course to others who are taking it now too, and I'll be back for more in the future!

This studio was such a lovely little haven to return to each week. I learned so much from Yasmin, plus she is hilarious with the cutest dog. The space is really inclusive and I had an already amazing experience.

I took a couple of workshops with May Ann and Caitlin. Both were great teachers that helped me make some pottery pieces I wanted. I always felt supported by them and that made me explore my artistic side in an inclusive and supportive space.
The vibe of the studio is great and full of amazing, joyous people.
The workshops are beginner-friendly where they provided all the materials and tools.
Bobby is a calming, loving dog.
