You feel like you're hanging out with friends and then all of a sudden you end up with an end product that you might have thought you'd need a critical and disciplined instructor to create. Nay! You can have fun learning to create and also be quite surprised at what you're capable of at The Make Den. I have done their macrame and leather fundamentals class, and was actually kind of drunk for the macrame class (wine was provided for my group due to the occasion) and still created a work of art. The format of their classes are great too, chunking up classes and projects. It flows nicely and you walk away feeling accomplished with lots of goods to show off. Thank you ladies for bringing some fun to my Tuesday nights! Can't wait for the next class =)

There were a few no shows so on top of our hands on class to make a bowl, pot, etc on the wheel we had the opportunity to do either a clay platter or work on the wheel some more... which was awesome. Paul has a good sense of humour which certainly made the class entertaining as well as informative and fun! Cant wait to see the end result! Overall I would say its a must try if your not super picky for dates or dont mind waiting a while to get a suitable time that fits your schedule( although Paul will accommodate you the best he can and is quick to respond to emails). All in all, great time.

Great 2 in 1 date night idea to spin your own pottery + paint your own pottery…read more Booked in advance to do their pottery class. It was with 6 of us to one instructor, which was the owner, Kent. I loved that Kent walked us through each step while demonstrating and doing the pottery with us. It really helped with this step by step instructions to understand and to make our own pieces. The pottery spinning was a lot of fun and I can't wait to do it again. We made 2 pieces each and were able to pick which pieces we wanted fired (could have both or just one). The great thing about this was that you can come back at another date to paint your pottery piece at an additional cost. The only odd experience throughout this entire activity was when we called in trying to see if we needed a reservation to come in the day before Valentine's day (Feb 13) to paint our pottery, and was asked to pay a fee to secure our spot. But then told us it's a walk in basis to paint any pottery (which is free without a fee). So of course we did not pay to secure a spot, since it seemed unnecessary. We just walked in and there were plenty of spots available for our painting. Overall, it was a great experience with the pottery spinning - lots of fun and a great activity to do with a partner.

When we went to pick up our pieces, we found out they had messed them up during the firing process. Disappointing, but mistakes can happen. What really bothered us was the way they handled it. The night before, I received a call saying we could come in for a refund. There was no mention of any conditions or exceptions. But when we got there, we were told they only give refunds for payments made by card--since we paid cash, we could only get store credit. That kind of last-minute surprise feels unfair and unprofessional. If we had been told that detail over the phone, we wouldn't have wasted our time going in expecting a refund. Instead, we were basically forced to accept store credit and now have to go back and spend more money just to make up for their mistake. We won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who values honesty and accountability.

It even had the initials of the bride and groom etched into it. Probably the best wedding token I've gotten. Ever since I got this, I've been looking at taking some kind of pottery class to learn how to make clay dishes and such. When I stumbled on Clay Design, I knew I had to check it out. The store has the most unique and beautiful clayware. They sell a lot of plates, bowls and dishes there. A small icecream bowl costs about $50, just to give you an idea on the price. A bigger serving plate will put you out $300. Needless to say, to buy a piece that someone else has made is probably more expensive than just taking lessons yourself. And luckily they do offer lessons here. When we went yesterday they were holding a class. If this place wasn't so far off the subway, I'd definitely take a class!

Was very surprised they had set up tiles for the adults as well! Thank you for letting us participate! We had a blast!

They also take walk-in's. You don't have much time, 1hr 45mins to be exact. Especially when it's busy, they really give you your 5-10 minute countdown for the next reservations that come after you. There are a lot of pottery pieces to choose from, and all the prices are written at the bottom of the piece. You can also check their website to see what they have. There are lots of paints and colours to choose from. The paintbrushes are very clean and in good condition. Our pieces were ready for pick up the next day, very fast. It was wrapped in paper and very secure during pick up. The only downside I found was sharing a table with other guests. It's a long table with plastic unsteady stools, and if another guest shakes the table, it moves the entire table. Our pieces were $30 and $33. Very good pricing. Staff were nice and informative.
