My first time doing pottery in like 20 years and LOVED it! Alex and Catie were kind, patient, and…read moresuper knowledgeable guides making the experience super chill and helping me feel confident to level up my practice. It almost feels like cheating to be able to throw on the wheel, and add cute elements, and paint all in the same session - but did it today and it was super fun! Strongly recommend for anyone looking to find their zen and have a good time.

Pick an option from the wall and get started. Gabby was a great instructor and helped us so much! We appreciated her guidance and tips as we created our pieces. She controlled the wheel which I think was great to not have to worry about that step. Can't wait to see our final pieces once we pick up after glazing/ firing! I also loved the playlist they had going on! It set a nice vibe to the class.

I was taken on a date here and the experience was going well; the staff member who was helping me…read morewas very sweet, knowledgeable & she did a great job. So when the guy I assume was her manager (dark hair, nose piercing) started yelling at her in the middle of the store i became very uncomfortable. It unprofessional to yell with customers present, but more importantly there's no excuse for the way he was talking to his staff. I will not be coming back because I don't want to support a business that treats its workers like that. I never write reviews but this experience just really didn't sit right with me Edit: This account is under my middle name, and I likely went to the studio with under my first name. "We know who you are" is kinda an uncomfortable/unnerving comment for you to make under a yelp review

I love how they have such wide variety of items to choose form... the options were endless and all SO CUTE! The staff members are available to give you refills on your paint during your session and they are also willing to give you additional colors after your chosen 5. They also have tons of tools to use at your disposal (stencils, different types of brushes, hairdryers, etc).  Reservations are up to 2 hours, which I found to be on the shorter side (esp for a perfectionist like me!). My friends and I actually did not finish our pottery pieces during our first visit, but they were very accommodating and we were able to come back to finish our pieces a few weeks after.  Pieces are ready for pick up 1 week after you finish painting, which is a very quick turn around.

I love activities like this! I just wish they were more affordable. We made an online reservation a…read morefew days in advance and were brought to our table when we arrived. They have plenty of items to pick from and the prices are all on the pieces. The service is good and they bring you the paint you need. The worker reminded us right at the 2 hour mark that we had to finish up and leave, or that we could take our pieces to go and bring them back. We decided to just stop our pieces and leave them as is. We came back a few weeks later to pick up our finished pieces. Overall a fun spot that I've been to a few times, but definitely not affordable as a regular hobby.

That would have been fun! - I think some of the prices are affordable and some are not, I totally would pay $15 for a ring holder but I dont know If I would pay $48 for a bowl. So if you go keep in mind whats really worth it. - I believe is amazing how they allow the freedom to run wild for each person, but I would have appreciated more companionship from the "waitress" or at least for her to take a moment to guide us more, maybe there is a way where we can be guided over the phone with a video or something - I loved the space, it was all I thought it would be and is pretty spacious. Overall the experience was pretty good, I will be back and check out more of their menu!

This is my first time at the downtown Manhattan location. I had previously been to the greenpoint…read morelocation. Here's what I liked. Today, I did the watercolor activity and was handed a folder with multiple sized paper and some watercolor paint. I started painting right away. The workers are around to refill the paint/brushes/supplies when you're running low. I felt extremely attended to and I had such a good experience. I think that in the future, I might do the air dry clay activity as drawing/painting is not really my forte.

I arrived early and was able to be seated before the rest of the women arrived. This was my first ever pottery class so I decided to make a mug. Other people in class also made a mug or a bowl or a ring holder. The class was a couple of hours long so we had enough time to design our items as well. Our instructor was Mariah and she was lovely; knowledgeable and such a great teacher. I will definitely take another class here or at the other location in the future.

This was my first time buying here and am puzzled by this policy. Would prefer to have the money rather than the supplies I cant use.
