A Creative HubIn the Heart of Tel Aviv
Connecting Community
through clay
School of Clay was established in 2009 by Bezalel graduate Naomi Schossberger on Tel Aviv’s Hess Street. Beginning as an intimate artist’s atelier hosting small classes under the name Hess Street Ceramics, it has since grown into a dedicated space for design and ceramic practice.
In 2024, the studio expanded into a larger neighborhood space designed to accommodate a broader range of makers, workshops, and open studio practice.
Throughout the years, we’ve taken care to keep the intimate, relaxed atmosphere of our original space. Today, School of Clay strikes a thoughtful balance between high-level, design-led instruction and refined technique, and a welcoming studio family.
What Guides Us
An Open Space for Everyone
We hold space for quiet learning, genuine connection, and creative independence in a safe, respectful environment. School of Clay is a warm, welcoming haven for all people, regardless of background, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
Mindful Material Practice
We view sustainability as an inseparable part of everyday studio life. As a community-minded space, we practice total clay reclamation, conserve raw materials, eliminate single-use plastics, and use water mindfully—handling our resources with quiet care and respect.
Investing in Our Community
We support local makers, independent craftspeople, and neighborhood businesses over mass production. By choosing local hands and small suppliers whenever possible, we nurture a connected and meaningful community around us.
