About Canvas + Clay
Authentic Creativity
Located behind the redwood curtain, amidst towering forests, rocky beaches, lush pastures and winding rivers, our program is nestled in the city of Eureka, CA. As the first program of its kind in Humboldt County, Canvas + Clay is a pillar of the local art scene. From its first incarnation in the dunes of Manila known simply as “The Studio”, to its current location in the Old Town Eureka Arts District, Canvas + Clay has become part of the fabric of the art community in Humboldt.


The Studio
We provide a supportive and stimulating environment where artists can express themselves using a variety of media, from painting and drawing to ceramics, fiber arts and an extensive video art program.
Our goals are to help each person reach their highest level of artistic achievement and to encourage personal growth, self-reliance and self-esteem through the creative process. The art made at Canvas + Clay Studio is never censored or criticized, and freedom of ideas, techniques and media is strongly encouraged.
This freedom is what makes the work created here inspiring, compelling and authentic.
