Why Pottery Studios Choose Us

We Speak Ceramics — Not Just Insurance

Contractors Choice Agency was founded by former contractors who understand specialized trades. We know that a pottery studio isn't just a retail store — it's a place with kilns running at 2,300°F, students learning with sharp tools, and valuable handmade inventory that standard policies don't properly value.

Kiln-Specific Underwriting
We properly rate kiln operations, fuel types, and firing temperatures — getting you accurate coverage, not guesswork.
Teaching Studio Specialists
Our teaching liability policies cover workshops, classes, and private lessons with student injury protection built in.
Handmade Inventory Valuation
Unlike standard carriers, we properly value handmade ceramic inventory at replacement/market value, not wholesale.
Same-Day Quote, Fast Binding
Get your certificate of insurance the same day for lease requirements, art fairs, and venue compliance.

Client Stories

Trusted by Studio Owners Nationwide

After my kiln element failed mid-firing and ruined $3,000 in customer work, my CCA policy covered everything. The claim process was painless and the check arrived in 10 days.

Sarah M.
Owner, Clay & Kiln Studio – Portland, OR

I teach 8 classes per week and needed proper teaching liability coverage. CCA was the only broker who understood what I actually needed. My premium was lower than I expected.

Marcus T.
Ceramics Instructor – Austin, TX

Josh at CCA walked me through every coverage option in plain English. No insurance jargon, no confusion. We've been with them for 4 years and renewed every time.
