  • The culture is such a welcoming and encouraging community of people that celebrate everybody’s wins, I truly can’t recommend this place enough.

    Lauren, a beginner wheel throwing student

  • T&N is a place of good. You can feel it energetically the moment you walk in. Everyone is on the same page: supportive, kind, committed to one another’s safety, communal joy and creative expression. I’ve never found a studio that feels so much like a community, a home of friends and friends-to-be. So, so much more than kilns & clinics (though both are present and excellent!); this is a space that fills your cup and I’m so grateful for it.

    Alex, frequent workshop participant

  • Highly recommend this space to those who are curious about ceramics and especially for those looking for a creative community to get plugged in with.

    Emma Mae, Ceramics Member

  • Welcoming and creative space filled with friendly and helpful people (and an excellent playlist). Great place to learn or practice your skills and hang out with your neighbors.

    Greg, a beginner wheel throwing student

  • Tooth and Nail is incredible- wonderful workshops, amazing artists talks and a core part of the creative community in Milwaukee!

    Nora, a guest workshop instructor

  • Rented the space and painting supplies for a group of 11. We had a blast in the beautiful studio. Janelle was so helpful and communicative. Would highly recommend.

    Rachel, recent private event client

  • Love this studio as both an artist and a community member. The owner is an artist herself and is clearly invested in the space-it’s beautiful and stacked with a calendar of interesting and accessible events. The building is accessible (upon request w an email or DM). LGBT-welcoming.
