Rosewood Pottery Studio
Rosewood Pottery Studio is Richmond's only full service ceramic studio.  We are located in the near west end of Richmond.  We offer classes in wheel throwing and handbuilding.  We also offer open studio time, shared studio spaces and firing services.

Janet Lopatofsky
Janet has been throwing pottery for almost 15 years.  She came to pottery as an adult, learning the craft from a master potter, Dom Moska, in Evanston, IL as well as other instructors.  She prefers to throw functional pottery as she loves knowing that her pottery is being used and enjoyed on a day-to-day basis.  Janet teaches all of our throwing classes.  She is technically proficient, but more importantly, she is able to explain and demonstrate the technical aspects of throwing in a way that suits her students' individual needs.  Janet is also the studio's glaze application expert.

Kathleen Lipinski
Kathleen has been handbuilding for almost ten years.  Her work is mainly decorative and focuses on forms with simple lines and graceful shapes.  She has taught handbuilding as well as tile making and paper clay classes.  She frequently guest teaches handle making and joining in the wheel throwing classes.  Kathleen is the studio's resident chemist and has formulated all of our cone 6 glazes.

Petey
Petey is our studio cat.  She is an orange tabby with a fabulous personality.  She's sweet and cuddly and loves to be petted.  She likes to sit on a stool and watch our students throw or curl up on her cat bench and watch the squirrels and chipmunks as they roam the sunlit courtyard.
