Welcome to Duneland Pottery – Where Art Meets Purpose

Located in the heart of the Chesterton Arts District, Duneland Pottery is the working studio and gallery of local artist and owner, David L. Arreola.

Meet the Artist

Hi, I’m David – potter, painter, and curator. At the core of my work is the belief that function and beauty are not separate, but partners in everyday life. Every handmade piece I create carries a story: of touch, intention, and the unique moment in which it was made.

Rooted in tradition but guided by individuality, my pottery invites you to slow down, connect, and appreciate the quiet beauty of the handmade. Beyond the wheel, I’m deeply passionate about fostering a space for creativity, community, and meaningful connection.

About the Studio

Duneland Pottery is a welcoming, working studio supported by a community of independent ceramic artists. Whether you're just starting or continuing your journey in clay, our studio offers hands-on opportunities to explore, learn, and create.

Try your hand at hand-building techniques or get centered on one of our professional-grade pottery wheels. Our space is designed for exploration, growth, and inspiration.

Workshops & Classes

We offer a variety of workshops and classes for all skill levels—from beginners exploring clay for the first time to experienced potters refining their technique.

Introductory Classes: Learn the basics of hand-building and wheel-throwing in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Multi-Week Courses: Deepen your practice with structured sessions covering technique, form, glazing, and firing.
Private Lessons: One-on-one instruction tailored to your interests and schedule.
Group Workshops: Perfect for friends, families, team-building events, or creative gatherings.

All materials and tools are provided, and you’ll leave with pieces of your own handmade ceramic art. Class schedules and sign-up information are available by contacting the studio.
