Best Pottery Classes in Elizabeth, NJ

Our only location at this time is in Neumann Leathers in Hoboken, which is a large former factory complex. Project Studios is seeking to expand to a second location in fall of 2022.

Generally, within the arts sector, non-profits are 501(c)(3) which is specified as an educational organization. Project Studios does not provide educational services at this time, although in the future this might change. Project Studios is more of a professional services company and does not have a classroom and does not teach art.

Due to the large amount of space Project Studios has leased, the per-foot cost is low enough to allow a mark-up of the rate for sublessees. Space of this type is at a premium in the New York City area. This margin pays Project Studios employees and covers the cost of upgrades, maintenance, and the purchase of new equipment. The sublet/license rate also offsets the per-foot cost of the shared shops. The membership-based part of the business (Clay Studio and New Collective) generates income in the same way as a gym. Members pay a monthly membership fee.

All of our suites and individual private studios have locking doors, some with deadbolts. Project Studios has its own camera system to monitor and record activity in the common areas, shared shops, and hallways. The building has coded entry doors, but does not provide a security guard.

For example, the 2nd floor suite at Neumann Leathers is about 5500 sq. ft. It has 10 semi-private studios, the dance studio and the wood shop and spray booth, as well as two large music rooms and a small gallery space. This creates a dynamic environment for collaboration.
