Bayan Studio Ethos
Bayan Studio is a community-focused pottery space inspired by the Filipino value of bayanihan. Located in Oak Park, IL, Bayan offers inclusive access to pottery classes, open studio time, and collaborative events. It is a sanctuary for creativity, healing, and cultural pride, welcoming individuals of all skill levels.
At Bayan Studio, pottery is more than an art form—it’s a journey of self-discovery and mindfulness. As you center clay on the wheel, you also center yourself. The meditative rhythm of working with clay invites presence, balance, and relief from the stress of daily life.
We believe in nurturing both emerging and established artists. Bayan Studio provides the space, materials, and support to create, innovate, and grow. Through exhibitions, artist talks, and community events, members can share their work, gain exposure, and connect with others in meaningful ways.
Bayan Studio is built on the belief that art flourishes in community. We invite you to join us—to discover the joy of creating, the peace of mindfulness, and the strength of shared support. Together, let’s center, create, and connect—one piece of pottery at a time.
