Grateful Clay moving to downtown Ottawa in November

Rural studio to close Oct. 30 ahead of reopening at former Heartland by Hand location.

Heartland by Hand announced that its downtown Ottawa gift shop is closing and its framing services will be relocating.

In November, Grateful Clay will reopen in downtown Ottawa at the site of the former Heartland by Hand, 231 W. Main St. 

The doors to its barn studio in rural Ottawa will close Thursday, Oct. 30, to facilitate the move.

“Over the course of the last three years, we have grown to include memberships and classes — expanding until we no longer comfortably fit in the barn, “ read a post announcing on the business’s social media. “This is truly the space of my dreams. I can’t wait to bring my vision to life for all of you. This wouldn’t have been possible without your support.”

In addition to pottery classes, finished pottery pieces are for sale.
