Although I was young she allowed me to walk around and see where we would be doing the class . The class is a hour and a half . I was able to throw clay like 3 times and it was so much fun . She explained everything hands on and helped and even asked before if she could help us hands on which I really appreciated . It was such a lovely and intimate class and I loved how everyone was helped individually which was really nice . I just loved it and will be back

They also have a huge variety of mugs available for purchase if you don't want to make your own. I really like the unique look of these mugs and will likely purchase some even though I've also personalized my own in the class :) Something I especially appreciated was how friendly and flexible the staff were. The class price is for making 2 mugs, but since I wanted to make espresso cup-sized mugs, I had a lot of leftover pieces of clay. I was allowed/encouraged to use the scraps to make little accompaniments to my mugs, which made the pieces feel even more unique and the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend!! Also, makes for the perfect creative date activity.

It's great to find a community that's involved and invested in the craft, and I've enjoyed learning and becoming a part of this ceramic community. Would highly recommend any of the workshop classes here, and if there's any further interest you should definitely check out Loft Ceramics which is nearby on the same block! The storefront is a multi-work space, used for classes but also an open store that has production pieces that are all made on-site. Lots of people purchase pieces off the shelf, and they can learn to make them themselves at a workshop.

I wanted to tuft a rug for a gift, and I remembered Queens CM Sam mentioning this studio (see her…read morebubble tea rug!). It was easy to book online. I opted for a custom design (they have some pretty neat standard designs, but I wanted something specific), and uploaded 3 design options when I booked. They reached out to me by email within 1.5 weeks for approval, and my design was ready and sketched out on canvas when I arrived. Parking wasn't difficult, but make sure to read the street signs, because some streets are no parking or standing during the day! I arrived early (make sure to take the elevator!) and after confirming my name and filling out the liability form, I was welcomed to browse the yarn colors. They had picked some out already for my design, but I was free to swap any out. You can even change out the colors for the standard designs, as my fellow tuft-ers chose to do. Thanks to Taylor for teaching us the ropes (we were first timers!) and helping us through the whole experience! She was mostly hands off once we got started, but was open to helping out. Towards the end, she looked over our rugs and helped by pointing out parts that could be filled more so that the rug comes out much nicer. Note: you are free to bring food and drinks, but there is limited space on the table. I ate prior to arriving, but did have a drink with no issues. Be prepared to be there for at least a couple hours. I spent a little over 3 hours tufting their 27x27" frame (as did my fellow tuft-ers). They finish your rug by trimming, gluing and shaving it, which is supposed to take 3-6 weeks. I got antsy at the 6 week mark, so I sent them an email. I received an email the following day that my rug was ready for pick up (phew!). You can request for it to be delivered for a fee, but I wanted to pickup, so I went the following day. Pickup was smooth and very friendly. She helped roll up my rug and secure with a yarn for easy transport. My rug came out better than I expected! Overall, a cool and fun experience for a newbie like me!

It's good to practice for a bit on the scrap before you start on the pattern so that you get the feel of the pressure and how to control the direction of the gun. The class itself is set for 2 hrs but most people are allowed to stay after to finish. Then you pick it up 3 weeks later for the studio to glue shave and have it set.

I just walked in yesterday and got tons of info :D Updates: So.... after the consultation, I came back to NY Art studio and enrolled Portfolio Prep. course targeting Parson/ Pratt/ FIT for 2016 Spring Semester. It's been 3days so far and I already feel very comfortable with studio and instructors. The director, Soo & teachers( Adam, Kyeom, Eugina) knew which direction I needed to go towards and were able to help me start to create my artistic vision :) Instructors are not only great artists but they were informed in the technical process of art school admission. If you've never made a portfolio before like me, there are a lot of little details to be considered and NY Art will help you exactly with that. If you want to apply any art schools, NY Art would be the place to go for help!!!
