It’s about building a community where creativity thrives and where every member has a chance to grow, inspire, and be inspired.”

Jessica Pierce | Ground Floor Artists executive director

Ground Floor Artists, a West Valley hub for creativity and innovation in Surprise, announced the official launch of its Glass Club and Clay Club — two new programs designed to elevate artistic expression and foster a vibrant, supportive community.

The introduction of the Glass Club and Clay Club is a new step in fulfilling the art house’s mission, offering even more opportunities for artists and art enthusiasts alike to connect, create and collaborate.

Ground Floor Artists is at 13343 W. Foxfire Drive, Suite 3.

The Glass Club invites artists to explore the dazzling world of glass art. With access to workspace, cutting-edge equipment, safety resources and expert guidance, members can dive into techniques like kiln forming, fusing and more.

The class is for seasoned glass artists or curious beginners.

The Clay Club offers hands-on experience in ceramics. From wheel-throwing to hand-building, this club is your gateway to mastering the art of clay. Members will enjoy access to a fully equipped studio, high-quality kilns, and a supportive community of like-minded creators. It’s more than just making art — it’s about shaping connections that last a lifetime.

These clubs aren’t just about making art; they’re about making a difference. Ground Floor Artists believes in the power of creativity to bring people together and transform communities.

By joining the Glass or Clay clubs, members not only gain access to tools, workshops and demos, but they also become part of something bigger — a thriving movement that supports local art, fosters personal growth and champions the arts as a vital part of life in the West Valley.

“This is more than just an opportunity to learn a craft,” says Jessica Pierce, executive director of Ground Floor Artists. “It’s about building a community where creativity thrives and where every member has a chance to grow, inspire, and be inspired.”

Membership is open now. For information, visit groundfloorartists.com, or email groundfloorartists@gmail.com.
