Great fun with teens, granddaughter and niece. Super helpful instructors! Can’t wait until the pottery is trimmed and finished!
So much fun

My bestie and I had never taken pottery and these people were outstanding. I cannot say enough for how do-able they made the process and fun as well. Gentle instruction, encouraging and wonderful results. The entire staff was great, and Rosemary and Jeff especially added to the experience. Don't hesitate.
Our instructor, Rosemary....

Stressful but I ended up having fun somehow

This was a “play with clay” class, but we were not really allowed to play. We were given a quick tour and fairly detailed instructions for beginner potters and then went ahead and started. However whenever we made any mistakes we were chastised and the instructors took over and essentially made our pieces themselves. The owner (?) also made things far too complicated than necessary regarding the glaze colors. All the personalities were not compatible with teaching for sure.
My Fiance' was good at pottery!

Had an excellent experience for my first time with pottery with my Fiance' for his birthday. The Staff was very good at what they do and I would recommend this place to everyone.
