    How awesome this store is so cute and they will also be opening a coffee shop next door! Not only can you paint but also have a nice cup of joe! The staff were so friendly and so kind, they gave us a tour and a sneak peak as to how the whole store runs! I really enjoyed the part that you have unlimited time and access to paint and stay until you finish your piece! I am really excited to come here and paint some beautiful projects!

    We just had my daughter's birthday party at Clay Cafe and they were amazing! The party host was awesome and so helpful with any and everything that was needed. The space is so cute so really not much else is needed. They cleaned up everything which was really appreciated. It was just so easy and I highly recommend for events or just to go and have a fun day of pottery painting!

    We had the sweetest experience at Clay Cafe. My 5-year-old came in with a very specific creative vision (as five-year-olds do!) and the owner, Santi, could not have been more patient or encouraging. He truly went out of his way to help her bring her idea to life -- talking through her plan, helping with techniques, and treating her like a real artist rather than rushing her along. You can feel the care in this place. It's thoughtful, warm, and clearly run by people who genuinely love what they do and love supporting kids' creativity. Such a special little business. We'll definitely be back.

    I had an amazing experience at this Clay Cafe. It is a family owned business with very nice owners. I went there on a Friday night and picked up a beautiful set of teapot and a mug. The process was smooth and I had a peaceful time. I was visiting the area and I highly recommended them anyone who is interested in painting clay! They didn't have the cafe or throwing wheel part open yet but I will definitely go back when I am in LA again!

    Had an excellent daytime date here painting some pottery with great tunes playing and an awesome staff. Tons of kitchenware and figure choices to paint on and the owners are really helpful teaching different methods if you wanna get creative. Cost of the item is what you pay. Paint, firing, etc is all included in the price. Awesome place for a birthday, paint party, date, or just chill relaxing hang spot. Love that it's family owned and can't wait to be a regular there.

    Stopped by as a walk-in and was greeted right away! The staff was super helpful, and they had such a great selection of pieces to choose from. I'll definitely be coming back!

    I love Clay Cafe! Not only is the staff so kind and friendly, they're talented too. I've gone three times and plan to go more. There's nothing better than spending a couple hours painting. They offer a large variety of ceramics to choose from and have tons of colors and tools. The staff seem genuinely happy to be there, which sets a really nice atmosphere. I know they're working on a coffee concept, which I think will be great. They let you bring drinks and snacks in which I appreciate. I want to try a class with them as well! I cannot recommend clay cafe more.

    Born to do art, forced to write emails...I know I've been saying this a lot (especially w/all the…read moregreat businesses I've found lately), but seriously I'm so happy this place exists. ARTime BARRO is part pottery studio, part community space, and is a relaxing, chill place where you can unleash the creativity you thought was dead, where your artistic spirit gets to come out to play, if only for just a little bit of time in this crazy world. On a recent weekend, I had the opportunity to take the One-Time Class, which is a one-hour course designed for complete beginners. You get to make two pieces, one by hand at the table and one on the pottery wheel. The class size was small (just 5 people) and we got great 1:1 instruction and guidance from our knowledgeable instructor Max. I've always wanted to try the wheel and was surprised how hard it was to use it but it was such a great experience that I think everyone should try at least once. After you sculpt your pieces, you are invited to come back to hand paint (glaze) your work at no additional cost. You can also have them do a one-color glaze for you, but after I saw all the multi-colored pieces of other folks previous to me, it was no contest to decide that I wanted to color my pieces myself. You have up to 3 months to come back to glaze so it's very doable in anyone's busy LA (corporate) lifestyle. Pricing was very reasonable for such a cool bespoke experience. There are a lot of pottery painting studios (e.g. Color Me Mine) but this is awesome bc you get to make the pottery AND color it later! I've already recommended this place to countless people!

    My friends and I were looking for a beginner pottery class and found this place through Groupon. We…read moreattended the one-time class, which was a nice introduction to pottery. Our instructor was friendly and gave clear directions on how to mold our pieces. We each made 2 pieces, so the one hour really flew by. We had the option to come back to glaze our pieces or have the studio glaze them for us, and opted for the latter. There's a small lot behind the building, but it was full when I went. It wasn't difficult to find free street parking on a Sunday evening in this area. The pottery pieces could use a bit of extra care in handling (my wheel-thrown piece had rough edges and a random piece stuck on that wasn't there initially, and the glazing didn't look thorough on my other piece), but overall I was happy with my pieces. This was a fun experience, and worth the value!

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!

The instructor, Yuli, is so patient and knowledgeable. She spends time on building fundamental skills and building confidence working with clay. The weekday beginner classes I've taken have been such a fun and productive way to wind down after a long day at work. Each class is 2 hours long, but after the first session, you can arrive an hour early to practice and throw additional pieces. Yuli walks through every step of the process and offers guidance along the way. I'm so proud of the stoneware I've made in her classes, and have signed up for my third class at Echo next month!

Had taken ceramics in college for a whole semester but really could not remember a single thing...so was super excited for this. We got Joy as our teacher for a single session of no frills, basic pottery class and she was great. She was patient and pretty friendly to all of us beginners. Class was super organized. You grab your aprons, your wheel, your slab of clay and watch her demo. You go step by step because some steps will cause you to "lose it all" lol. She explained that their typical classes would allow you to see your clay through from a blob all the way to the firing process which takes several sessions of classes (gotta wait for things to dry etc). There is also a little board with all the firing colors and oxidization/reduction differences which is cool to see it nearly organized. I remember in school there were just huge vats of color hanging around for us to visualize. Afterwards we all helped clean up and labeled our pottery. Entire session was about 2-3 hours. Our bowls will likely be finished in a month after they dip them and fire them up for us. Would totally come back for more classes if they weren't so far... We also had some snacks and drinks some people had brought along but typically I don't think there would be much eating involved...hands are dirty. Theres also a parking lot so parking is handled.

Filming is welcome (a plus for capturing memories!), and parking is free right out front. Just note: the lot is pretty small, so I recommend arriving early to snag a spot. Our instructor was super informative and made sure to spend time with everyone in the class, walking us through every step of the process. It was hands-on and beginner-friendly, which made it all the more enjoyable. The only downside is the wait bc our finished bowls took about 6-8 weeks to be ready after shaping them on the wheel. But honestly, it was worth it--they turned out beautifully :')
