Youth & Family Programs is part of Clayroom, which describes itself as four community pottery and woodworking studios centered around providing an inspiring shared space for people to be creative and explore using their tactile senses. The spaces share a stated focus on connecting people through art, shared experiences of learning, community outreach, and events. Clayroom SoMa is described as the union of a ceramic and a woodworking studio and builds on a foundation of fostering creativity by expanding into woodworking, offering activities from throwing on the wheel to turning on the lathe in one space.
Clayroom lists several community outreach efforts connected to Youth & Family Programs’ broader studio network. These include the Waller Artist Residency Program (WARP) for Black emerging ceramic artists, which runs for six months with weekly mentoring and concludes with an artist gallery show, and monthly artist talks and demos from Bay Area and visiting ceramic artists. Clayroom SoMa also offers a scholarship program for BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ people, especially those aged 18–25, to explore ceramics through 6-week classes and a membership program.
