Mud Hut Ceramics Center

The Mud Hut ceramics programs have relocated to the Artists Studio in the Foothills (ASIF) at 940 Idaho-Maryland Road in Grass Valley. Longtime Mud Hut instructors Claudia Jeffers and Denise Wey resumed their classes for youths and adults, joining the existing ASIF ceramics program, which includes wheel-thrown pottery classes.
The Mud Hut had been sponsored since 2002 by the Nevada County Superintendent of Schools Office, allowing hundreds of students to experience ceramics and pottery. ASIF is a visual art center providing artist studio and gallery space, as well as various art classes for youths and adults. Upon hearing that the Mud Hut needed to relocate (due to earthquake safety concerns), ASIF Studio and Gallery Director Amanda Paoletti saw an opportunity to help both studios.
"The minute I heard the Mud Hut would need to relocate, I knew exactly what needed to happen - we needed to have it come here," Paoletti said. “Not only are we fulfilling an urgent need in the community, these programs will become a huge support to our studio. We are so thrilled to have these talented artists and their amazing programs as part of ASIF's offerings.”
