Clay CA is one of the most inspiring pottery studios in Los Angeles--and also serves as a true third space. I've taken classes here, and the environment consistently fosters creativity and personal growth. Since becoming a member, I've met people from all walks of life, and the space has been a constant source of connection and inspiration. I've visited many other studios in the city, but none have matched the warmth and welcoming energy of Clay CA. The staff is incredibly kind, and Gabriela, the business owner, is deeply passionate about the craft; her deep love and respect for the craft radiate throughout the studio and its community. From the wide range of glaze options to the wide variety of clay types, Clay CA is perfect for both beginners and experienced ceramicists looking to hone their skills and build community. Parking is easy with options like street parking, a downstairs lot, or free parking nearby on Spring Street. Located in the heart of Chinatown, the studio is surrounded by great food and lively nightlife. I've often found myself heading out for a glass of wine or a delicious meal with fellow members in between creating. I highly recommend you check it out! read more

I've been a member at Clay CA for a few yrs now - I've taken some private lessons and one off classes as well. I've even thrown my birthday party here, multiple times. These are some pieces I've made over the years. I LOVE this studio. The teachers are super knowledgeable. Clay CA is big on community and I've met some of my closest friends here. I want to sign up for more classes soon! :) read more

Clay is probably one of the best experiences of my 2022 this year. I signed up for one of the month-long classes this past month (April) with my best friend. Since it was so close to where I live...I thought "sure, why not?". The specific class I took was a weekly 2-hour class on Wednesdays, where we would learn how to throw, trim, add/carve, and glaze our pieces. About $200 upfront which I thought averaged out about $50 a class but the cool part is that you actually get 24/7 access to the studio after your first class. So, you can come any day, evening, or weekend to practice your throwing skills up until the 3rd week just to make sure there's enough time to fire and glaze all the pieces you have made. I wish I could have taken advantage of it more but things came up and I only got a chance to go in maybe 2-3 times outside of the class--which is still better than nothing. I really loved our instructor, Justin. He was clear and concise. He makes you feel at ease when it comes to throwing pieces on the wheel especially if it's your first time. It can look intimidating. Our class had about 9 people, so we didn't necessarily have one-on-one time with Justin but he definitely did his best to give everyone his attention as we were doing our own thing after he would show us the process. At times I did have a hard time keeping up because it seemed like it was an accelerated course, but I was able to get the hang of it after making my second piece. All the materials are all provided for you (wheel, clay, tools, bowls, water, etc) and there are a lot of people around the studio. It's a shared space for creatives, so you'll see other individuals (members) who come in to work on their pieces while the class is taking place. They're usually on the wheels on the other side and/or on the tables near the door. It's really neat to see all unique artwork and draw inspiration from others as well. Anyways, going back to the classes...The first week we learned the basics of how to throw the clay on the wheel, centering, and shaping the clay to form it to how you would want it to be. It's definitely a challenge--especially the first pieces, but also very calming when you see the wheel spin and touch the softness of the clay. I do think it does require a little bit of patience or else the pieces can easily tear if you're not too careful. We did have the luxury to throw at least two pieces and by the time it was towards the end of the class, Justin would let people stay longer to finish up their pieces. The 2nd week we learned how to trim. We would trim our pieces from the 1st class. This is the stage where we would trim the bottom to create a decorative bottom to elevate the piece. Justin would show us how to use the trimming tools and certain techniques to help trim away pieces of the bottom so that when we glaze it (4th week) it won't get stuck on the shelf. The 3rd class was more of how to attach pieces of clay onto a piece such as a handle for a cup or adding 3-dimensional looks on the surface. Or design elements such as carving the clay to create a textured look and so forth. The last class was understanding how the kiln and the process of glazing works. Similar to my chemistry class trying to learn how certain powders react with glazes and cones of a kiln to fire pieces are all worth learning and understanding for pottery. Especially if anyone is really interested in doing this part/full time. Once the fundamentals were taught, we would then get the pieces we created and glaze it to our liking. I haven't received my pieces just yet as we have to come back in another week or two for our finalized creations, but thought I'd leave a review before I see the final product. Overall, I really loved the classes. Justin was a wonderful instructor, my classmates were easy going, and I learned a lot from these four different classes. I would love to continue to do this, but apparently the studio no longer has enough space for new members (that's how popular it is)! It's a great space and allows creatives to freely do whatever they want (of course within the studio limits). I did have a few moments where I was like...what do I do since Justin wasn't in the studio the times I were there outside of class, but there were other people in the studio that were able to help. However, there was one individual who looked really annoyed (older gentleman) so I tried not to bother him, but that's the only negative thing I would have to point out. That's not on the studio though but more on the individual. Oh and also, it's kind of hard to find pieces that have yet been glazed. Since there's a lot of people and artists, there was a point where I couldn't find something I made. It could have possibly broke, or a possible pottery thief (I kid, I kid....) or it might have just disappeared.. Who knows... Other than that, I loved it every bit of the experience. Thanks again Clay! Can't wait to come back!! read more

I've had 2 interactions with Clay CA. The first one was fine but the second was bad. Horrible communication here! I only tried coming here because my regular studio doesn't offer one-off drop ins. I signed up for a 2 hour intro course years ago. We made one piece that we picked up weeks later just fine. No issues with that course. Fast forward now and i wanted to come with someone to use the day pass studio. I signed up for one slot and realized there wasn't a second one available so I emailed them asking if there were additional slots. They replied yes and that they could sign me up "right away". I then replied asking how to pay & confirm the slot but they never responded. I emailed ~3 times, called daily during open hours, texted them, and sent them a message on IG but I received no response. This was all over the span of a week a half or so. I started asking for a refund of the pass I purchased as the site says that I can get a refund 24 hours before the class and still haven't heard back and will be disputing the charge if I don't hear back soon unfortunately. This seems in line with other recent reviews that communication isn't good. I'd avoid as there are tons of studios in the area. read more

Took the beginner wheel throwing class with my Fiance. Environment was super chill and easy felt super welcoming. Our instructor Michael was so great and so so helpful - was cracking jokes super fun. 100% recommend taking a class and taking a class from Michael. read more

I took a one-day class back in January. Although I really enjoyed the class and the instructor was great, the overall experience was very poor. First of all, they were overbooked due to an online booking system issue so a couple people ended up leaving voluntarily. If these two people hadn't left, we wouldn't have had enough wheels and probably had to share them. Second, their communication is horrible. I got an email saying my pieces were ready for pick up but my friend who took the class with me didn't get the notification at all even after the promised day. We attempted to contact them MULTIPLE times via phone, text and email over several days but they didn't get back to us until days later. And the main reason I'm leaving them a one-star review is because the pieces were not finished professionally. I was very upset that they didn't clean the bottom as the instructor said they would and one of my pieces was chipped. I was very disappointed by their lack of care and professionalism. read more

Clay CA has been my home-away-from-home for a while now. I have been a member there for a few years and having recently moved back to Europe, I realise even more how special this place is. The studio membership is very cheap for what they offer: 24 hour access (!), tools, firing, glazes are all included. And on top of that, the firing gets done quickly! Gabi, the owner, is very knowledgeable and is so quick to help in any way she can. If you're looking for a place to start/continue your ceramic adventures, do not hesitate-- I could not recommend this studio enough. What a marvelous small community to be a part of! read more

I have only attended 1 pottery throwing class before this so this is my review in comparison with my last experience. A group of friends and I came here to attend a class in Wheel Throwing 101. My understanding was that we would (hopefully) create a piece that we could take home. I want to first say that I would give the instructor a 5/5 stars because she was clear and concise with her instructions and helped us along the way. For some of us, it was the first time doing something like this and the instructor was patient and helped when needed. If I was writing the review on the instruction along, it would've been 5 stars. However, there wasn't too much information on the website on the details of what this class included besides the actual instruction. I think I was under the impression that we would throw our piece the day of the class and that it would be trimmed, fired, and glazed for us. It was fired and glazed which was communicated but now I'm forgetting if anyone said it would be trimmed and cleaned up (which was what they did in the last pottery class I attended). When I picked up the pieces a month later, the bottom base was how we left it at the end of the class. I wish someone would have told us that it wouldn't be trimmed for us because the pieces are just not that pretty with a rough sprawled out base. We also didn't have the tools necessary to clean up the base even if we wanted to. I attached some photos of what the pieces looked like. I think we are just disappointed since this was one of the more expensive classes compared to others I've seen online. Overall, I would just recommend anyone coming here for a class to be clear on what the expectations of what would happen to the piece after you leave the class. Location is in Chinatown, inside a plaza. Parking is decent, we came on a Saturday evening and there was street metered parking along the sides or a parking garage down the street. read more

What a unique experience! I had been wanting to try pottery for awhile, but finally made it happen when a friend asked me to join her for this excursion. For parking, they have metered parking or an underground lot that costs a bit more for your convenience. Everything was setup outside under a tent with 8 of us and a teacher. For two hours, we took the Wheel Throwing 101 class with Richard. Each class is $50 and includes all the materials needed including the clay. During this time, we took advantage of how many pots we were able to make after some instruction. I felt like I struggled more because I was left-handed, but my teacher really helped me so much. Truth be told, I was getting quite frustrated because working with clay is very difficult. I felt like I kept overworking my pieces, which ended up breaking. Although I left feeling upset that my pieces weren't perfectly uniformed, I realized later that it's the imperfections that actually make your pieces more special, so hope that helps you if it's your first time! At the end, the teacher helped you remove your pieces to a tray for drying. Then you clean all your materials up before choosing what type of glaze you want. I went for walnut, nebula, and a glossy white. If you're not sure, I'd recommend the walnut because it gives this gorgeous matte speckled look. I filled out my contact when the pieces are ready, which they estimated 3 weeks. This was the part where I was a bit concerned about because my friend's piece was done in 2 weeks, but I still didn't hear anything about mine after 4 weeks. Eventually, my friend picked up her pieces and found out mine was actually just done. I'm not sure if they took longer or never contacted me, but it took much longer than I hoped to receive the final piece. But I have to say that the wait was worth it. All of the pieces are absolutely gorgeous after the glaze. After seeing them, I definitely want to go back for more. If you're new like me and been wanting to try pottery, this is an amazing place to do it! read more

Hubby and I signed up for a Throwing 101 class for our anniversary and it was fun. Class was two hours and our teacher Len was great at teaching us. Class was $65 per person with a deposit of $40 and $25 paid after the class. The clay we used is recycled clay. At the end, the piece you make is fired up and you come pick it up when they contact you about two weeks later. They even glaze it for you! Overall this is a fun date idea to fo with significant other, by yourself or with some friends. Note: Parking was not validated by Clay Ca read more

We took a Pottery Wheel Throw down class from Eventbrite/class pop. I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience. The studio was set up ready to go. Our instructor was so helpful and thorough, coming around to each student to ensure that we were obtaining the skills needed. The studio allowed for enough time to grasp basic skills as well as keeping the class size small enough so that the instructor could get to everyone and ensure the core skills were comprehensive. The class had a wonderful vibe and overall it was an amazing hands on experience. We cannot wait to pick up our final products in 2 weeks after they're fired. Highly recommend. Thank you Clay LA for setting up such a wonderful Workshop. read more

Love love love Clay! I've been going since April to develop a new hobby. My friend had recommended this place before COVID but I could never make my way here until after vaccination. At the time, they had outdoor wheel throwing and now everything has moved back indoors. I've only taken classes with Chloe, Ian, and Justin (who was subbing for Richard) so far and they're all great! If you're a beginner, I recommend a hands on class with Chloe since it's easy to rip your clay off the wheel. She's great with troubleshooting and advice for whenever you feel stuck on something. The studio is very friendly and anytime I've had a question about throwing, someone has been willing to help. The owners, Gabby and Justin, are amazing! Very understanding with any issue I've had with booking classes on the website and are very responsive to emails/phone calls/in person questions. read more

My partner and I took the Wheel Throwing 101 class here. We had a great time during the class. Our instructor Michael was a great teacher, helped us throughout the class, and helped fix our pieces when things went south. I have no complaints about the class itself. What I do have a big issue with is the pickup process. I received an email stating my piece was ready, and made an appointment online to pickup, as they requested. Easy enough, right? When I get there, I tell a woman the names on our pieces. She searches high & low on the shelves for a full 5 minutes, and is not able to find anything. After checking the back, she comes out with 1 of our pieces, and tells me the other is in the kiln but it would be ready if I came back in 10 minutes. Totally fine, I'll walk around Chinatown. I come back over 15 minutes later to give them extra time, and when I arrive the woman who originally helped me is gone. I explain to another man that I was just here & was told to come back in 10 minutes to get my piece out of the kiln. He disappears for another 5 minutes, before coming out and telling me that my piece won't be ready today "the piece is probably 300° so obviously it wouldn't cool in 10 minutes." Like I don't know that. At this point I was already kind of irritated because I felt like I was getting dicked around, but that statement just increased my irritation 10x. Obviously I know hot things take time to cool, but y'all were the ones that told me it would be ready in 10 minutes. I decided to just take the loss and come back another day. AND during that whole conversation, the woman who originally helped me comes back out and completely ignores me, even after I saved hello to her. Probably because she knows she lied to me. It sucks that this was my experience because again, the class itself was great. But I have too many questions about their operation that left me baffled. - Why send me an email telling me our pieces are ready if they actually aren't? - Why lie to my face about when my piece will be ready? Literally just wasted my time - Why the attitude? Class & teachers are great, but wouldn't recommend this place due to disorganized pickup & unhelpful staff. read more

AMAZING CLASS. It was my very first time and my partner's first time working with clay and our pieces turned out wonderful.

Class was OK. Very hands on -- too hands on if you ask me. I watched the instructor turn some students work into something completely different and personally I'd want my work to be mine no matter how bad it is. The bad review comes from a potentially lost piece? They emailed us saying our pieces were ready, but when we got there only 1 was ready. I gave them an address to send the 2nd piece to, and 5 months later we still haven't received it -- nor an answer to our phone calls. read more

Let just begin by saying I couldnt be more pleased to have been a part of Clay Ca. When I got started here with my practice. I felt stunned on how good the Instructors are good at what they do best kept me on my seat for a good ride.

I booked a pottery lesson for my girlfriends birthday to make two pieces each. Upon arriving at the scheduled time, the other two people that were assigned into in our group were not there. We had to wait 15-20 minutes to start the lesson and therefore had a much shorter amount of time to make our pottery than what I paid for. We were told the pieces would be ready after two weeks but it took closer to a month. 2/4 of the pieces were messed up after they were glazed. One piece (the blue cup) was not glazed and missing paint partially (paint is also cracking). Another (the green bowl) has a hole in the bottom. HIGHLY recommend spending your money somewhere else. read more

My friend had her birthday party here and it was a cool event! They let you bring food and drinks to snack on between working on your clay projects and they are pretty lax on the pace. We were there well over 2 hours and they didn't kick us out. We had the opportunity to do a thrown bowl and a pinch pot and it was a lot of fun to try. After you are done with your projects, you pick a glaze color and come back another day to pick up your finished product. I can't wait to see how my vessels turned out. read more

Added plus, nearby local Chinese restaurants with some great options for food and local traditional fare. read more

I signed up for a one time class for $50. The instructor, Frances was very laid back and patient with me and the other newbies. While my pieces didn't come out as expected because it was my first time, I had a good experience. I wasn't too happy with how the glaze turned out...uneven (I guess it was because how the bowl was formed). It also seems like they are still working out some new business kinks. read more

A date night that won't disappoint! Justin and the Clay CA went above and beyond to make the Valentine's event special with wine, crackers, grapes and cheese. Justin was the friendliest instructor ever, and his deep knowledge of all things ceramics came through. I loved his jokes too! Thanks to his guidance, both my boyfriend and I made beautiful bowls. I'm proud of my work even as a first tinier and I think Clay CA's quality of instruction is setting the standard high for other throwing classes. The glaze options are abundant, and the vibe at Clay CA is super warm. It was easy to sign up for classes and reserve spaces online. The class price includes instruction, clay, glaze and other materials. You can bring your own apron or borrow one! My boyfriend and I already signed up for our next class. So excited to come back! Even more excited to check out other folk's work here too. So many talented people! read more

I had so much fun in my four week series class. Unfortunately, I also lost some pieces here -- really disappointing when you invest multiple studio visits into the pieces (first time making it, second time trimming it, third time glazing it, fourth time to pick it up). The process is really unorganized and no signs of it changing. I seemed to lose a piece in each step of the process. By glazing, I had 6-7 pieces. I wrote my name down and they were all the same color. When I went to go pick it up, I only found 3 pieces. No one knows what happened to the rest-- but they could've just been bundled together because it was obvious they were all mine? Just sad when you get attached to the pieces and were going to gift them but end up with nothing. read more

Best experience ever! My friend have wanted to do wheel throwing for her birthday last year but due to Covid, she couldn't so we decided to surprise her this year with this! After calling so many places, Clay CA was able to accommodate us and even offer private lessons for a fair and reasonable price. We seriously had a blast. Justin was informative and so patient with us. We had so much fun, we couldn't stop talking about it that night over dinner. We are all considering switching our careers now!!!

I just got into pottery this quarantine and finished up a few pieces of greenware to get fired. A kiln can easily be thousands of dollars, so I was trying to find a place nearby that allowed for outside firings during quarantine and Clay CA popped up. I called in and thought I knew most of the terminology for what I needed to do, but there were still a few things I was unfamiliar with and they were extremely friendly and helpful in making sure my pieces would get fired correctly. I scheduled an appointment to drop off my greenware on a Saturday but needed to reschedule for the day before and they were very accommodating. I went in to drop my pieces off and Justin helped make sure that everything went very smoothly. I hadn't been to Chinatown in a while and really like the location. It's a modern place surrounded by historic mom and pop shops. The pricing for each of my pieces to get fired was extremely fair at only 3 cents a cubic inch! I got to fire 5 pots for less than $12 and am excited to see how they come out once finished. I hope to be able to take some classes here once the world is no longer in the process of ending. Highly recommended. read more

We came here for a private class, it was all amazing, instructor was great and we had so much fun. If you're looking for quick advice: take a class, use the restroom before you go (super gross and dirty) and detach yourself from your creations bc you may never see them again. We each paid $25 which felt like a steal and $5 for the pieces we wanted glazed and to keep. Our class was on 2/22, and we were told our pieces would be ready in two weeks. You enter your info in an ipad and a post-it is attached to your items with glaze choice. They lost all of our info and we had to try to remember what our glaze choices were and send that again. Bummer, but it was okay, we didn't even care that we now had to wait an additional two weeks. Two weeks later we were told glaze came out spotty and they had to be glazed again. Which we thought was really nice of them to do. Again, the glaze came out spotty and we were told was because of the clay we used. A little annoying but again, nothing we were upset over. Ultimately, we still wanted our creations. We were finally told by our instructor that the pieces were ready to be picked up, we came in Monday (not realizing they were closed) we searched that place top and bottom and couldn't find our pieces. A person helped us, but seemed annoyed that we were there, and we could feel how we've inconvenienced them. But AGAIN, we understood... they were supposed to be closed after all. We got a "sorry" but no kind of compensation, not that we were expecting one. To be honest, I don't even know who runs the place. However, what I can't understand is how such a beautiful place can be so unorganized. How two people who came in Feb for this class, and who have been understanding customers, can be feel like an inconvenience or disregarded. After this last experience, it will be the final. I don't even care about the pieces anymore. We learned you have to schedule to pick up pieces we're NO ONE told us, included the person helping us today and I never received one single email, ever. read more

When you think ceramic studio, you wouldn't necessarily be looking for warm community and a light airy space with hanging potted plants--but Clay CA is just that--a somewhat hidden gem in LA. It's perfect for both the serious pottery artist and for a group networking event or birthday party, as they offer 1-2 hour basic classes for groups. The instructors (the owners/founders) are extremely knowledgeable (like over 10 years of experience in addition to formal art training!!) and super supportive of all skill levels. They also offer monthly membership--check out their website for the deets! I had so much fun and can't wait to roll up my sleeves for another class! read more

I absolutely love Clay CA! Justin, the owner is so kind and accommodating. A few months ago my team at work did a pottery class via Zoom. I wanted to get my pottery glazed and so many shops in LA turned me away (they didn't want to risk the pottery breaking since it was done outside their shops) except Justin. He was down to glaze my pottery and was so kind and helpful about it!!!! Can't wait to return to take a class! read more

This was such a fun and amazing experience! I came here with a few family members to celebrate a couple birthdays which turned out to be a great creative activity for a group. The location of the studio is conveniently located with paid parking under it in DTLA. Our instructor/the owner, Justin, was extremely patient, supportive, & helpful throughout the entire class which made the experience even more enjoyable. Everything in the process of creating a piece is included in the the price which is fantastic. I wanted to do something like this for so long and can happily say that Clay CA was able to satisfy everything I was hoping for. I am so looking forward to seeing my creation complete in a couple weeks. I highly recommend this place to all! read more

Who can actually compete with this studio?!?! 10+/10 100 percent cannot stop putting on everyone I know to this space. To start with, the 24/7 is beyond convenient. LOVE everyone from the chill staff to the members!! The glazes and clay selection are immaculate. I cannot even begin to gas up the owner Gabbi who is a ceramic wizard/fae and beyond helpful. Not only do they fire everything in a timely matter, every staff member is super attentive/generous with their knowledge and time. This studio will also go beyond and above and organize pit firings/raku, etc. The other plus to the studio is that is located on a walking street where you can access everything from fresh banh mi on Ord, jackfruit/sugarcane juice all within an extremely close few walking blocks. Lizette, Ian and Leonard have also been super helpful as well! Vibes! Also so convenient how tea at Steep and then galleries are also so accessible as well. Additional plus: Human Resources, South Williard and Bel Ami are only a couple blocks away! read more
