Molding masterpieces and future artists at Artyard Studio

By: Mike Randall | WKBW Buffalo | Posted 7:31 PM, May 16, 2017  

 With a little time, talent and maybe some lessons from Thomas Hooper, you can transform a blob of clay into a beautiful piece of pottery. He got hooked on making pottery in college and has been busy with it ever since. In 1999 he opened Artyard Studio on Main Street in Williamsville. He Says ”I’ve been throwing pottery since 1982 and teaching since 1987.”
