  • I had an amazing experience at this class. Kaitlyn was so informative and helped me create a bowl. Would definitely recommend
  • Super fun!
  • A wonderful class with thorough instruction! Great way to learn the true art of fine jewelry. Definitely a class where you’re building skills over time rather than a workshop. Would absolutely return!
  • Satoi is an amazing instructor -- very knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. We created beautiful flowers and leaves in a lovely frame, and went home with not only an attractive gift, but the knowledge of how to make more!
  • The instructor was helpful, friendly, and patient; the atmosphere was collegial; and the materials were great -- I loved that we had our choice of several different colors. Most importantly, there was the most beautiful, affectionate dog joining us! :-) It was a really enjoyable class; I only wish it had been an hour longer to give us more time to practice.

You’ll learn many different techniques and walk away with a piece or two that you can wear yourself!

  • Carolina is the best! Not only is she a great instructor—- but she’s also an inspiring artist. Loved learning from her — and have some amazing pieces to cherish.
  • Never done this before and happy we tried this. It is definitely one of the hardest things I’ve had to do with almost nothing to show for it!!! Our instructor Amy was super patient and kind and gave clear instructions it’s definitely something you should take several classes to get better at. It was a humbling experience and I’m excited to pick up our pieces in a week. We had a lot of fun laughing at ourselves and getting clay all over and there was a lot of natural talented folks in the group who made beautiful cups vases and bowls.
  • super fun, and the total open studio hours are so rare to come by. it was an amazing experience and i’m continuing to take classes
  • Had a great time and learned so much. Instructor was excellent.
  • Wonderful instructor who made sure everyone left with at least one piece they were happy with. I do wish it was a 3-hour class though, between a long demo at the beginning and clean up at the end, the actual throwing time felt limited.
  • The instructor was super supportive and the experience was a great time for my partner and me.
  • We had a really great time and highly recommend for a date night or even friend date! Elizabeth is amazing! really patient with us guiding us every step of the way and even repeating it multiple times for us to follow!

  • Very enjoyable, hands-on class with friendly & helpful staff
  • Impossible to overstate how wonderful Carolina is. She makes the studio a warm and welcoming place for students, and her expertise is clear in every instruction she gives. I've had a wonderful time getting to know this craft, the students and Carolina, and I'll be returning for sure.
  • Carolina is absolutely amazing. I learned so much and am signing up for another 5 weeks. She’s helped me discover a new passion I know I’ll keep working on for years.

Oh, and I can’t forget the added bonus of the lovely wine that was served! ??️
  • Marla was great! It was just us 4 for the session and the class was great! We even received a small gift at the end courtesy of Marla. I highly recommend to go with a group.
  • We loved making rings together for my partner’s birthday! What an amazing experience. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
  • Very nice
  • Fun class. The instructor was very thoughtful and nice : )
  • We had so much fun at this class. Anna was a wonderful instructor! Neither one of us had ever done this before, nor can we call ourselves "artists" but we actually created some very pretty items. The 9th wedding anniversary traditional gift is pottery, so we signed up for this class to celebrate our 9th and we had a great evening together. I can't wait to pick up our finished pieces. Highly recommend!
  • It was so much fun! Vince, the instructor was patient and explained things when I asked so many questions! It was my first time wood carving and I made a hippo! All tools and materials were provided. Everybody was positive and supportive. I am definitely taking another class there.
