Nancy Gordon Studio has been a personal and public art space for over thirty years, specializing in clay and  three dimensional art. It is an open and inviting environment which encourages diversity in creativity. The studio classes provide professional instruction and materials to prepare students for each art project; including ceramics, book arts, sculpture, jewelry, and various mixed media items. This is an non-competitive social structure where young artists flourish.



Nancy Gordon Studio activities include Summer Art Camp, after school enrichment classes, birthday parties, scout meetings, and home school classes.



The Nancy Gordon Studio is located in the older coastal area of Cardiff by-the-Sea in North San Diego County. The facility includes a complete pottery studio; there are indoor and outdoor work areas to accommodate a wide range of projects. The Nancy Gordon Studio Summer Art Camp allows for great creativity and great fun!
