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- As of June 22, 2020 we have resumed teaching six week courses. We are taking many safety precautions including requiring students and instructors to wear face covers and limiting class size to allow adequate social distancing. For more information or to sign up call the studio at 778-489-5249 or email at [email protected]
If all goes well with the reopen we hope to again offer wheel throwing experience nights, kids classes, and handbuilding evenings in the coming weeks. Contact us for more information.
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.
