If you are a pottery lover like me then this is place will make you feel like a kid in a candy store. They have wheels, tools, glazes, pre made ceramic pieces for relatively cheap and they offer studio time Tuesdays from 4-7pm for $15 to use the tools and glazes and offer free firing for items made during the session. I went in just to check it out and I purchased a few pieces to take home but I cant wait to take my daughter for a fun after school activity as it starts getting colder out doors. read more

Lots of great options. Good help - answers questions of a newbie! It's a dangerous place as they have lots of cool tools and glazes and more. read more

It seemed to have prices way high for the little selection that they had .i wish them luck!

Awesome place with huge selection of glazes, pottery tools and clays AND they are super nice helpful people

I absolutely love this place. Lots of selections in glaze. Bisqueware ready to glaze. pottery tools and tools and tools available! The young girl that waited on me was very informative and helpful. Will definitely be back to visit. I did come here expecting it to be an Amaco storefront , however they are a company of their own. They are short on Amaco products as well as any other supplier. read more

The selection can't be neat, great prices, expert advice, and a gallery that's unprecedented. Six new glazes were added the day I was there and the girl helping me showed me the new colors- very exciting. I live 8 1/2 hours away and will make the trip again just to go there. read more

I think people should know when businesses do bad business and don't correct their mistakes at the cost of the customer. A few weeks ago, I bought glaze chemicals from Brickyard, and I mixed up a batch of glaze. I noticed the color was off, so I tested a glaze tile. The color was seriously wrong, and I identified the specific ingredient. It was mislabeled, so I called and asked for a refund for the loss of my glaze materials. The person on the phone was going to ask the manager. All good, so I go to the place to pick up more chemicals and to get my refund. The person told me that the manager wouldn't give me a refund; that I should have called before mixing up the glaze. She even had the audacity to ask me if I've ever mixed a glaze before. I've been a potter for a long time. Many glaze chemicals look very similar. How was I to know that they gave me a mislabeled chemical? How can I now trust the contents in the bags of chemicals is actually what I've ordered, especially now since I won't be reimbursed for their mistake? I even brought in my test tiles for them to see. No refund. I also believe that it was that manager's fault for mislabeling the bag in the first place, and she refused to make the situation right to a good customer. Just because this is the only ceramic supply store in Indiana doesn't mean you can get away with treating customers like this. So, I wasted money and time on a batch of hideous glaze and will from this point on be driving to Louisville to get my clay supplies. I also will no longer refer (literally all of) my students to Brickyard. read more

I have driven by on Guion Road so many times and somehow hadn't even seen this wonderful place until alerted to its existence when taking a class at the Indianapolis Art Center. They are working on a sign that will be easily visible from Guion, which should help a lot! In the meantime...if you are driving South on Guion...look to the right just south of 62nd street. It is tucked back from the street a bit, and I always assumed all that was back there were industrial-park-related buildings...but if you do look for it, you can indeed see the store from Guion! The staff were extremely nice and helpful. They had great suggestions for some starter tools for beginners and clearly know every product they sell very well. I truly appreciated that they provided a lot of great information and advice without pushing for a sale. I left with a great collection of fun items for a Christmas gift for a friend who is in the same beginners' ceramics class with me, and I'll be back after the holidays to probably buy the same collection for myself! They also sell everything a person would need to set up a home ceramics studio (wheels, kilns, etc.) They have some classes and can fire things made at home for those who are making things at home, but don't have their own kilns. 10% off the entire purchase for Indianapolis Art Center members! read more

We drove over an hour to come here. We called 5 times before leaving to confirm that they were open, but no one picked up. When we arrived, there was a sign on the door that said "closed for inventory, reopen January 2." This was not posted on their website, or their Facebook. We will not be returning. Complete waste of time. read more

Shame on Indianapolis Yelpers for keeping this gem to yourselves! Brickyard Ceramics is a top-notch place for art and ceramics supply. Sure, when you say "brickyard", you mean a place where people drive cars in circles. But from now on, the association in my head will be a place where the clay spins in circles -- where the action is slower and quieter, but not a bit less exciting. Check this place out if you need pottery supplies, art supplies, clay, glaze, paint, or kilns ... or even if you just like browsing for gadgets and gizmos. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly, too. Oh, and the website says that they teach classes and have gallery hours as well. Seriously, if you think there's nothing to do in this city, you only have yourself to blame. read more

In general, this is a great shop to go to for all things ceramic. Supplies, clay, tools, kilns, you name it. They'll even fire pieces for you and they have classes. Most of the employees there are friendly, eager to help you out and give you tips. Except one. Believe me, when you go inside, if she's working, you'll see a huge difference in attitude from her and everyone else that works there. I'm not sure why they have her in ANY customer service capacity at all, because she truly sucks at it. Not only is her face in a perpetual frown most of the time, she gives zero eye contact and in general has a negative, slightly grouchy attitude. If the job is that much of a pain, perhaps she should work somewhere else! Thankfully, I mostly deal with the others who work there and have generally had good experiences with the store and the staff which make up for this girl's bad attitude. So, they get five stars for what they are without her and one is taken away because she works there. read more

I love this store. There have great products and they ship so fast. Thank you Brickyard!
