I live by LAX and the ceramic studio that I belong to doesn't do Raku firings. HOWEVER, last year…read moreand this year we were able to come here to experience the art of Raku. It was like an educational hands on field trip for us. Also a fun way to be more creative and collaborative with another ceramic studio. I had a fantastic experience last year and when I found out that we were going to be able to return this year, I jumped on the opportunity! They provide the glazes, the brushes and their expertise. There were several people helping us during this event. Every single staff member was an expert in Raku. They knew so much about their glazes and combinations, the entire firing operation, reduction and post firing procedures. There's a lot of down time while waiting for the kiln to reach its optimum temperature. We got to ask the staff all kinds of questions. They were eager to interact with us: warm and inviting, full of great advice and really knowledgeable ceramicists. Such great team work!They don't talk down to anyone, even praised some of our potter's art work. I loved hearing people share how they made their pieces, and I was proud to share my own story about the construction of my "bird bath" - as one of my fellow ceramicist called it. The participation between the two studios was phenomenal! Thank you Dave, Erik, Oscar, Mary, Darrell and Elise. Sorry that Scott wasn't with us today. You guys are fantastic!!! By the way, thanks to you, Dave and Erik, I absolutely love the way my pieces came out! Your patience and advice made my day. For those of you nay sayers, I've been doing ceramics since 1972, so I kind of think I know something about clay. Bravo! If I live long enough, I'll be back! A million stars for the Clay Yard!

We scrambled for a last-minute change of plans, and it turned out to be absolutely perfect. They were incredibly accommodating: we hosted the birthday party right in the studio, decorated the space, brought our own food and non-alcoholic drinks, and set up a special designated area for the birthday girl and her friends. Laura and Bob were beyond patient and so helpful with the kids, guiding them every step of the way to make sure everything came out just right. The selection of pottery pieces is huge (overwhelming in the best way) and they even surprised us with a complimentary plate featuring all her friends' little fingerprints. What a thoughtful touch! It was such a fun, creative day, and everyone stayed nice and dry. Highly recommend for families, especially when plans go sideways.

Rob emailed me pictures of my part (which was very small) just a few hours after I sent him the request. He verified that it was the right size and that it looked appropriate and then had me pick up the next day. His communication was excellent. The part was ready when I arrived, along with a small printed cat which was very sweet. He was kind enough to give me a tour of the makerspace and told me the story of how he came to start the makers space. I really loved his mission and how he is clearly passionate about his work. After the tour he made it clear if I needed any changes or adjustments to the part, he was happy to help me. The part worked perfectly, and I was able to finish the repair within a day of it breaking, all thanks to Rob. I highly recommend his business, 3d printing is one of many other machines and services offered at his facility.

Rob answered my call, remembered me immediately, and said he could do it. I drove over to his new location and he printed it in under 25 minutes! His prices are unbeatable--he only charged $10, while FastSigns quoted over $500. Years ago, he helped me print a different banner, showed me how to install the grommets, and gave me a grommet kit--six years later, I still remember how to do it! Rob is a wealth of knowledge, and his makerspace is all about helping people learn, create, and even having a platform and commuity support to start making money. If you've ever wanted to learn how to 3D print, use a laser engraver, CNC router, drill press, bandsaw, vinyl printer cutter, or any of his amazing machines--this is the place to join. Sign up for a membership, explore workshops, complete projects, and empower yourself. Whether it's for a banner, group, or business, check it out--you'll love the opportunities here!
