Decided to take an intro class to wheel throwing and initially had my doubts due to previous…read moreexperiences in high school. Our instructor Kristen (and the blonde instructor -- forgot her name) were patient and encouraging throughout the entire class. Kristen's in depth explanation + demonstration was easy to follow as a beginner, but the instructors frequently made their rounds to work with everyone individually, giving advice and feedback. Despite the class session only being 2 hrs, I felt like I was able to focus on improving basic skills and learning new techniques. Even if you don't have any interest in pottery, I HIGHLY recommend taking a class regardless. The space is welcoming, and it was a great (and fun) way to release stress creatively :) looking forward to how my pieces come out!

Their one time workshops are great for trying out a new hobby without the commitment. I took the…read morematcha bowl and whisk holder making class. It was a full class and the instructor patiently explained each step. Before you sign up, make sure to read the description carefully. There are hand-building classes and wheel throwing classes. Hand-building is hand molding and you don't work with the wheel. My one-time matcha bowl and whisk holder making class was hand-building and we don't get to decorate or glaze it. Instead, you get to pick from a selection of paint colors and their team finish glazing and fire it for you. You also need to wait about 6 weeks for it to be ready for pick up, which is standard for community pottery places. I picked the white paint with specks which I regretted. The glaze came back with some uneven spots and a dark brown mark on the outside. Since the studio glazed it for us, I was a little disappointed with the final result. Pottery definitely tests your patience and perfectionism. Not sure if pottery is for me, but I might come back for their wheel throwing class.

Unfriendly customer service and strict policies which only serve the business and not the customer…read more Art Time Classes Courtesy Class Policy In the event that you miss your regular class, you may receive a courtesy class. The following courtesy class policies are designed to accommodate students as well as not overbook the classes and are strictly enforced. 1. A courtesy class is awarded if you miss your regular for any reason. We ask that you cancel in advance if you know you will not be able to attend your regular class time as this may provide an opportunity for other students to attend their Courtesy Classes. 2. Courtesy classes may only be scheduled within a month in which your Class Membership is paid. 3. Courtesy classes are scheduled in addition to, not in place of, your regular scheduled class. 4. Courtesy classes cannot be credited toward account balances, Membership fees nor substituted for regular classes. 5. Once scheduled, a courtesy class cannot be rescheduled. If you fail to attend a scheduled Courtesy Class, that class is forfeited. For parents with busy schedules and an already limited class schedule, this policy only adds to stress of scheduling classes for your kids. Unfortunately the business first priority is profiting off of you vs caring for your kids.

The kids rotate through different art classes everyday doing things like wearable art, puppetry, acting, working on different art mediums appropriate to their age groups. There is no attached playground so they take them to parks and fields during the day. They play these fun games and do things like escape rooms and mystery detectives that my child recreates at home. My daughter was excited to go everyday and kept asking why the camp was so short by the end. There is a fun exhibition at the end to see all their work. She loved all the teachers especially Ms. Allison which she just adored and was so sad to leave. The camp is affordable and not for profit, highly recommend for kids who love arts and crafts!
