About HCA

Harbor City Art offers small-group art classes and workshops for adults, including pottery, basketry, fused glass, painting, drawing, and jewelry making. Our programs combine hands-on instruction with a relaxed, supportive studio atmosphere.

Whether you are picking up a paintbrush for the first time, exploring pottery, learning basketry, or returning to a creative practice after many years away, Harbor City Art provides a place to learn, create, and connect.

Our Programs

Classes at Harbor City Art are intentionally small—typically 4 to 8 students—allowing instructors to provide individual guidance and meaningful feedback.

Students work at their own pace in a relaxed, supportive environment where questions are encouraged and creativity is celebrated.

Programs include pottery, painting, basketry, drawing, watercolor, jewelry, fused glass, and other hands-on creative experiences for adults.

Our Community

Many students come to Harbor City Art to learn a new skill. Many stay because of the community, encouragement, and sense of belonging they find here.

Our studio is designed to be approachable, relaxed, and inspiring—a place where students can focus on creativity and enjoy learning alongside others.

Throughout the year, Harbor City Art also hosts exhibitions and special events that bring people together through the arts.
