About The Digs Chicago
Located in West Town, Chicago, The Digs is an artist-run nonprofit pottery studio built around accessible, community-driven ceramics space. It offers pottery classes, membership options with 24/7 studio access, and day passes for studio use. Members and visitors can book private parties, while the studio also provides kiln rental and opportunities for internships. Daytime access supports pass holders, make-up classes, and finished-work pickup during designated weekend hours. The studio developed from a ceramics community project founded by Fawn Penn and Zoe Minzenberger, with programming, facilities, and events organized around collective making. New members can inquire about tours, and scheduled events are available by arrangement rather than walk-in visits.
