My first time visiting here - we came because I saw on social media that they were having a pottery…read moresale. We showed up at 10 am when it was supposed to start, but clearly that was just a suggested time, because some of the artists had not even shown up yet, much less had their table with merchandise ready. The clay center is one of a few local Morean places; there is also the Morean Arts Center, and the Chihuly Collection on Central Ave. in St. Petersburg. We used the time waiting for the outside to be ready to wander around the inside of the clay shop. The building is an old railway station, and very interesting looking, with high ceilings and plenty of space for the makers. Merchandise was for sale on shelves up and down the walls. There were many different items for sale ranging from bowls, mugs, and plates to sculptures, all created by different artists in their own personal styles. We found out later that many of the artists were just bringing their inside work out to tables outside. I love that they have an "artists in residence" program - I saw one of their artists, Tyler Quintin, at a craft show and loved his work, followed him on social media, and then heard about this show. The best part of the day was watching a Raku pottery demonstration. It was amazing! After a second firing, the pottery was coated with a glaze in front of us, and then put in a trashcan with burning newspaper for a final firing. So neat! It looks like they offer a variety of classes, as well as intro-to-clay parties you can host for friends. I will definitely be back.

I've purchased some great things here! Cool looking mugs, planters, plates. Love how unique each piece is. Almost everything inside the building is for sale, and most of it is decently priced. They have rotating art exhibits right when you enter to the right. Really cool pieces to look at. There was also a unique spoon exhibit towards the center of the building the last time I was there. It's like going to a museum for free lol. You just wander the aisles and look at the beautiful clay work. We usually end up spending about 1-2 hours here. And plan to come back at least once a month as long as they keep holding their events. :)

This was such a fun and unique date night experience. Once we checked in we were guided to the back…read moreto meet the rest of our group. There were six seats total, with my boyfriend and me occupying two and the remaining four filled by other guests. The seating was family-style, so you're sharing the experience with others which was great because the family was celebrating a birthday!! For the first hour, we worked with clay at a table and had the freedom to create just about anything we wanted. I attempted to make a leaf, and my bf made a mug. We'll see how they turns out once we pick them up. I wish I could remember the names of the two individuals who guided us because they were absolutely wonderful. They were patient and incredibly knowledgeable, it's definitely their passion. Once done, we walked into a different room for our second hour. The second hour is dedicated to working on the pottery wheel. The instructors had already prepared and started our first bowl, allowing us to get a feel for working with the wheel before attempting one on our own. My second attempt didn't go quite as planned, but I had so much fun trying. I ended up with a very shallow, short bowl. But a bowl is a bowl right. At the end of the class, we were able to select a glaze color for each of our pieces from six available options. We were told that our finished pieces would be ready in approximately three weeks and that we would receive a call when they were available for pickup. I haven't got them back yet but will post an update when i do. The experience is BYOB so if you plan to bring wine, I recommend bringing your own cups and a wine opener as well. We didn't think to bring those items, but we were still able to get our bottle opened, so it wasn't a big deal, we just had to borrow someone else's. I believe he said the date was $100 for the both of us!

After calling them to see if the pieces were ready, we came back to glaze our pieces. We were met by Kyle, who was rude from the moment we walked in.

When we asked if we can do it ourselves, Kyle was dismissive and made us feel bad for wanting to do something we looked forward to doing.
