Filming and Photography at Claysita Studios

Claysita Studio is available as a location for select photography, video, editorial, documentary, commercial, and creative productions.

Our ceramic studio offers approximately 3,000 square feet of active workspace with working kilns, pottery wheels, hand-building tables, industrial equipment, shelving, clay surfaces, and the visual character of a functioning Los Angeles ceramics studio.

Larger productions, specialized equipment, extensive lighting, set dressing, after-hours access, or productions requiring significant studio interruption will be quoted individually. A cleaning/reset fee may apply.
