Mud and Muse

Welcome to Mud and Muse, the evolving heart of Mayfield Studios.

Here, clay meets language. You’ll find three threads woven through this space:

  • Clay Lore & Studio Notes — musings, making tips, material deep-dives, and reflections from time in our studio.

  • Tips and Techniques - helpful cheat cheats for those new to the business.

  • Studio Voices — writing from our creative community: poems, essays, fragments, and stories.

  • Clay & Conversations — our growing lecture series, featuring ceramicists, writers, artists and thinkers sharing their ideas at the studio

Whether you’re here for myth, method, or meaning, you’re warmly invited to read, listen, and think alongside us.
