who we are?
Next Step Clay Studio is the brainchild of Joshua Margolis and Griffin Marsh. Both artists have been working in clay for a combined 45 years(basically making them the Voltron of ceramics education).
Joshua has spent the past 30+ years working with clay, and 20 years in ceramics education. He has show his work all over the country, including an artist in residence at the de Young Fine Arts Museum in San Francisco. He is also the creator of the beloved children‘s book series staring Melvin the Robot.
Griffin Marsh likes long walks on the beach and romantic comedies.
In April of 2022 Joshua opened Out of Step Clay Studio in Wheat Ridge, Co. It instantly(if not magically) became the coolest educational ceramics studio in the Denver Metro Area(if not the world). As the studio had quickly grown to capacity, Joshua has received continued calls for memberships and more advanced class offering. While wanting to focus on beginner classes, Joshua recognized the need for a dedicated space for more independent recreational artist and advanced students. He reached out to his brother in all but blood Griffin, with the idea to build a second studio, located close to Out of Step Clay that could be a continuation or “Next Step”, as artist advanced their clay skills. And thus Next Step Clay was born!
Located one block off of the hip and popular Tennyson St., Next Step Clay studio will cement itself in Denver lore as THE place to clay. Gauntlet thrown.
