Salmon Arm
Nestled among the rolling hills surrounding the Shuswap lake, the Salmon Arm branch of Viva Studios seeks to be a pottery haven for students of all skill levels and ages. With over 35 years of ceramic experience between instructors, Jeremy Pawlowicz and Duncan Tweed, we can confidently help you tackle any project from your first hand-built mug to setting up your own personal home studio. Our primary course offering is a six week wheel throwing class for adults though we also offer one night hand-building workshops, youth classes, and specialty firings.
Covid 19 Update- Due to the most recent Health Guidelines provided by the government of BC all students are required to follow the Vaccine Passport regulations. Students must have their second shot a minimum of 1 week before their first class after October 24th. Additionally all students and staff are required to wear a mask inside the studio and adequately socially distance. For more information or to sign up call the studio at 778-489-5249 or email at [email protected]
The time-line for resuming additional course offerings continues to be pushed due to the constant changes to health restrictions. At this time we have no anticipated start date for kids class, date night/pottery wheel experience, or single evening hand-building classes. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and will update this information as soon as it changes.
The Salmon Arm studio started as a dream, sketched out in an afternoon and grown over the past few years. It is the place to indulge in a little clay play with amazingly well versed instructors.
The Workshop at Salmon Arm is a place to grow, learn, have fun and be a part of the community. This studio is the first step in some day creating a larger art residency program. The goal is to add many forms of art instruction to the Shuswap area.

- Monday Evening (6-9)
- Tuesday Afternoon (noon-3), Evening (6-9)
- Wednesday Afternoon (1-4), Evening (6-9)

Kids classes -we are not currently holding children’s classes. With the current state of things regarding Covid 19 we don’t feel that we are able to run kids classes while still following adequate policies for safety.
