Rat City Studios is facilitating an exhibition at Dubsea Coffee, in White Center, in October of 2024 – “The Community Cup Showcase.” This year is our 7th year putting on the event! Current and past Rat City Studios members, current and past staff, visiting artists, and (sister-studio) Rain City Clay students are joining in this fun event by adding cups and mugs to the showcase. We want to display the diversity of clay work happening in the Seattle area and showcase the creativity of people working (or who have worked) with RCS & RCC. This exhibition will take place during the whole month of October! This is a yearly event that continues to grow as Dubsea has granted us an October exhibition space for the coming years. Cups and mugs will be on display and for sale at Dubsea Coffee. It is a “cash and carry” sales event meaning when people purchase their cup (cash or card payment) they can take it home with them right away.

Rat City Studios is a welcoming creative clay studio that provides a supportive environment for makers working independently in clay. This community studio, located in White Center, is home to founder-potter-instructor-author Deb Schwartzkopf. RCS offers monthly studio access to studio artist participants, skill building online clay workshops, and a variety of firing service options. We support artists at many levels through experiential learning and shared experience.

Rat City Studios & Rain City Clay are sister studios located in West Seattle and White Center. They are vibrant, creative communities that offer everything from beginning pottery classes to firing services for local potters. RCS & RCC bring people together through shared experiences in clay. Here we engage and build community through clay. Explore our community by taking a class or attending an event!
