    I went here for my birthday and had such a great experience! Taylor was a great instructor I will definitely be back and recommended

    Had the best time at bitter root. Did a beginner adult class and got it as a present for my best friend and it was just such a perfect and enjoyable time. Lots of smiles and laughs. Our instructor Ashley was absolutely amazing. So talented at what she does and a great teacher who helped us so much the entire time and made us feel so confident and educated in our experience. She was very uplifting and helped whenever we made a little mistake and helped us make pieces we were so proud of! Her energy for teaching pottery was so kind and great! Beautiful studio and beautiful views from the rooftop. Definitely recommend!

    An amazing experience overall! It can be a little pricey and we wanted to do it with the outdoor view but it ended up being really cold so we ended up doing our pottery indoors. It was such a fun experience to do with my family and we all came out learning more about pottery before we went in. It can be a challenging activity but overall so much fun. Everyone was welcoming and nice. I think our instructor was a bit tired so not very chatty or excited but he was helpful.

    This was my first time doing pottery and I've always wanted to experience it. Came for Mother's Day and had a great time! The staff was amazing, the view from the outside class was superb as it was a bright and sunny day, and the experience surpassed my expectations. Definitely recommend anyone interested in a pottery outing to visit Bitter Root Pottery. It will not disappoint! It's a great date spot too!

    Don't let your long nails stop you from taking a class. I really enjoyed the experience. The instructor was patient and helpful. I can't wait to get my bowl back.

    Such a beautiful place, I have been there once a year or two ago and they only had the ground floor but now they have the entire top floor with patio with a gorgeous view, you can even bring your own wine. The instructor was very helpful, however I'd suggest him doing the class step by step with students instead of talking about each step separately. That made the first 30 mins of the class very boring.

    My vase!

    My gf & I went here for a private "penthouse" balcony pottery lesson. It was an amazing experience! Not only was the private lesson area extremely beautiful and comfy, our instruction (Camilla) was so patient and helpful! We were able to choose between a bowl, matcha bowl, and vase -- we picked the vase and both were able to craft one without prior experience. It was $95 per person, with the option to purchase a charcuterie board through one of their 3rd party partners. Would highly recommend!

    A very beautiful location for rooftop ceramics with a view of Hollywood! This location is spacious with many classes indoors and outdoors. The 5th floor penthouse pottery class is $95 (gratuity included). It's pricey but worth the experience. Maddie was our instructor and she was amazing! Loved her fun personality. She did a great job teaching our beginner's bowl class and was helpful throughout the whole experience. The class started off slow and did feel rushed towards the end. It does take about 2 months to pick up your finish pieces. Overall, it was a memorable and fun pottery class!

    I've been wanting to do a pottery class FOREVER. i came here yesterday for the 11 am class (adults and kids). The location is nice, tucked away and lots of parking. very simple and straight to the point when you come in for your class. I reserved 3 spots for my friends and I ($70 each). the instructor was clear, and extremely helpful the entire time. She did a step by step for us all to watch and then did it again for us as we were making our bowls. I was in awe of how well everyone in the class did considering it was everyone's first time. the bowls came out amazing! You get to pick your color and come back in 4-6 weeks to pick them up. So excited to see them! Will be back for more classes here, I'm a fan!!!

    Get there early to ensure you snag parking. There is parking in the back but it was all taken and I ended up getting lucky with metered parking right in front. I say get there early since this location is in a busy area and you don't want to be flustered with catching up since the teacher instructs the whole class in the beginning. Our instructor, Megan, went through a very detailed intro and guided our group through the whole class. I'm so thankful for her patience, humor, and assistance in fixing my bowl. I would definitely take this class again! Tips: it can get messy so wear something you don't care too much about. They give you an apron but clay got all over my shoes and pants but it was fairly easy to get out.

    We had the best date night on the bitter root rooftop! It's definitely pricy but so fun for a new experience. I wish I could remember our instructors name but she was so funny and did a great job teaching! The views and vibe are top notch. It took about 5 weeks for our bowls to be completed but they turned out great! You get to choose a glaze and they apply it for you post firing in the kiln. I wish they had other classes where you could make a different project, I would love to go again!

    Ready to go!

    Too many great things to say about this experience!! I booked a class for a rooftop view and pottery class with friends. We arrived 15 minutes early and took this very cool Vintage old elevator up To the top! This place is massive, tons of space inside and out to accommodate large groups. The views of La are beautiful, I loved the koi pond especially. The man that taught our class was so patient and fantastic at explaining, and helping us along! I really loved creating a bowl and my 2 friends were so impressed they've each gone back! It takes a couple months to have them fire your piece with the glaze etc. you can choose which glaze you'd like and decorate it a bit as well. Super fun, be sure to wear something you don't care about getting clay on! It does wash out, but it won't while you're sitting there. Highly suggest you do the rooftop option, fantastic for groups, dates, celebrations etc! So much fun and I can't wait to return again. Located right across from the grove, there's a parking lot and street parking. Well worth the price for the piece you make, take home and use again and again! You can sign up for a membership and come and go as you please. They do call and txt when tour piece is ready for pickup!

    The most beautiful location, it was perfect for a girls day! Our teacher was very patient and helpful. We will definitely be back!

    I'd never 'thrown clay' before lol, and she made it really fun even though it's no where near as easy as it look

Honestly, Ashley is in a league of her own when it comes to teaching this art. I haven't learned much at the studio in palms. I'm disappointe. I will be coming back for a membership at bitterroot. The instructors are your biggest asset, keep Ashley at all costs! I don't know what she makes but give her a raise!! she deserves it!!! Very few people have the gift to teach. Because I wasn't taught well at the palms studio I'm leaving to get a membership at bitterroot to take classes specifically with Ashley. Pottery studio owners, without your great instructors your studio won't fair well. Treat them well, pay them well and you'll have people coming back again and again. Ashley for the win!

Yes, were they the most expensive bowls we own? Yes! But the experience to make something fun together in a such a open and inviting place was totally worth it! You can pick the color and glaze afterwards and get to see your masterpiece ready for pickup in about 6 weeks. Can't wait to go back and try another class!
