Gowanus is best known for the canal that flows through its heart, which happens to be one of the most polluted waterways in the world. The neighborhood around it, however, is one of the most vital and up-and-coming neighborhoods in Brooklyn: a magnet for artists, delicious food, and creative businesses.

Pottery is one of the oldest crafts, but on Third Avenue it takes distinctly modern forms. This muddy little place is a great place to try your hand on an electric throwing wheel, slab roller, glaze bin or kiln. New to ceramics? Take one of the excellent classes for every skill level, in throwing, hand building or sculpture. Not interested in getting your hands dirty? Excellent works of art and tableware by the resident artists and teachers are available for sale.
