When are you opening?
After eight months of searching in the Bronxville area, we now have offers on several promising locations in neighboring Tuckahoe, NY. We're already deep in the planning phase with Overlay Office, our wonderful architect and design team, so once the space is finalized, we’ll be ready to hit the ground running. We’re optimistic and hope to be in operations in late fall 2025.

I've never touched clay. Where can I start?
Never touched clay? You’re in the right place.
Our one-off Intro To Mud classes are the perfect way to dip your hands into wheel throwing or handbuilding—no experience needed. We provide everything: tools, aprons, and step-by-step guidance. Just show up ready to try something new— you’ll shape one or two pieces, and we’ll take care of glazing and firing. If the kiln gods approve, your finished pottery will be ready for pickup in two weeks.Our goal with these classes is simple: to give you a great experience so you catch the clay bug and want to come back for more.
When you're ready to dive deeper—or just know clay is going to be your thing—our semester-long beginner classes offer weekly instruction plus open studio time, giving you space to grow your skills and find your place in our creative community.
We kick off each semester with a studio tour, giving you a clear understanding of how everything works. You'll learn the fundamentals and build a strong foundation to grow from. Once the basics are covered, each class begins with a demo of a new form—designed to inspire and guide your time with clay that day.

Can I enroll in pottery classes midway through a semester?
While we encourage students to register at the start of the semester to grow alongside their peers, we do offer prorated pricing for those joining later. If you're new to the studio, our instructors will make sure you get a full tour—no matter when you begin—typically after the class demo and Q&A are complete.

What is a makers café?
We’re a reimagined the concept of a café—yes, there’s great coffee and bites, but the real menu is made of art. Choose your medium, and we’ll provide the materials, warm-up prompts, and beginner-friendly projects designed for all ages and skill levels.
To create this menu, we’ve collaborated with artists who are experts in their medium. Each project is thoughtfully curated with a step-by-step approach that guides you through the process—while still leaving plenty of room for personal expression and creative exploration.
Whether you’re tagging along with a toddler, enjoying one-on-one time with your partner, or adding a creative twist to your next book club meet-up, there’s something for everyone—from pottery painting and weaving to mixed media and more.

Do you host private events like birthday parties and team building sessions??
Absolutely! We offer a variety of thoughtful options for birthdays and special events—and a celebration with Gather is anything but ordinary. Whether you're gathering friends around a ceramics class or one of our drop-in art experiences, we’ll help make it memorable. Every event is crafted with care, and our goal is for each guest to leave feeling inspired, connected, and creatively fulfilled. Visit our events page to learn more.

If we purchase a Gather Credits can we share them amongst family members?
Yup! It’s the reason why we’re using the Sawyer platform. We love that Sawyer permits you to set up family members and share credits. Just be sure that if multiple members of the family are booking/registering on behalf of your family members, you’re logged into the same account/using the same email address.
