I was looking for a new hobby and wanted to try pottery. Listening to music while drawing by myself…read morealways helps me destress, so I figured pottery would feel the same way. I came across Muddy Studio during my search and decided to give it a try. At $140 for a month--three hours a day, once a week--I thought it was a great, budget-friendly hobby to enjoy.From the very first class, our instructor, Sam, taught us pottery in great detail. Sam majored in pottery and was incredibly kind, thorough, and helpful. Now that I've finished my first month, I've decided to sign up for another month! I truly believe this place is an excellent option for anyone looking for a hobby. The studio owners are also wonderfully nice, and the atmosphere is so friendly that everyone can easily become friends.If you need some healing from your busy daily routine, you should definitely give it a try! Parking can be a bit challenging, but it's not impossible since you can just park on the street and walk over.

I am just wrapping up my first set of classes and I signed up for next month. The adult classes are…read morevery affordable at $140 for four 3-hour sessions plus $15 for 15 lbs of clay. They offer classes MTWThFSa and morning/night times for those looking for flexibility. Heather is a great instructor and I've learned so much in the past month. I'm really looking forward to glazing and firing my pieces!

OC Craft Runners was established in 2015 and is Orange County's longest-running weekly run around a…read morebrewery. Every Monday at 7, the Organizers host a run that begins and ends at a great local brewery. It's usually a 5k and the course is typically in a rectangle around many streets, so those wanting to do a shorter run can cut it shorter by taking an earlier turn. Here's how it goes. Many people of all shapes, sizes and running abilities, some with dogs, some with kids, some by themselves and some with larger subgroups all gather at whatever brewery the run is planned at. How do they find out about it? They see the venue and usually the planned running course on Instagram. So all these people show up and then the Organizers make a couple announcements/comments on the route. Then we all take a group picture and we're off. The energy is palpable and the vibe is amazing. You run as part of a pack, but everyone settles into whatever pace is right for them and the clump of runners spread out as time passes. Everyone is SO nice and neighbors in the area tend to smile when they see 100+ people running happily down the road. When the run is done, most everyone orders a beer and/or food. You definitely don't have to drink, but a craft beer tastes really good after a nice 5k. This group also does a smaller run on Thursdays. I hear they are often a trail run but I've never been to one. We've been on 2 runs with OC Craft Runners and LOVE everything about it. The runners are so kind and welcoming. The energy is infectious. And we loved bringing our son, who ran the first mile with us and then climbed in his stroller to get pushed the rest of the way. We would go every week, but 7pm is tough now that school has started. We will definitely be back!

While I had expectations on the food offering, which is usually standard, it was rather delicious and thought out. Good flavors with every bite.

UPDATE TO MY LAST REVIEW.... Fans are still ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! Everyone is literally breathing…read moreold dust / skin cells from who knows how long they've been like this as you can see in the photo.. Please DO BETTER MANAGEMENT ! Also it wouldn't be so hot in there if you just CLEAN THE FANS !! That means cleaning them properly & make sure all that dust and skin cells are gone & then people will feel fresh with CLEAN air. Very disappointing... I'll be back soon again to check hahaha & I'm going to keep updating my yelp! Drinks are amazing though Always the best !!!

My happy place. I've been taking classes here 6 months in a row now. Here's why I continue to…read morechoose this place over others: - Along with a 2 hour guided session once a week, you get to come in during non-class hours to practice and make unlimited items throughout the month (which makes this studio's monthly class cost an AMAZING DEAL) - They provide all the clay and tools needed to succeed. No need to purchase anything unless you want to upgrade your game. - I've only taken classes with Emma and Tim (who are both stellar instructors), but I heard everyone else is great too. - As long as you provide a 48 hour notice, you can switch your class to another day of the week. - There's always parking available! - You can purchase tools and materials directly from the shop and pick it up on the shelf the next time you come in. Overall, this place is 10/10. The only "downside" is that it's a cone 10 reduction studio, but to some it might not matter!

I saw some wonderful familiar faces and friends and made some new ones. Everyone working at the country club today did their best to support our efforts to raise money. The club was so beautiful.

Probably not going to matter to members or future members, but they treat contractors (or maybe…read morejust musicians) with utter disrespect. I called a week in advance to ask if there was food available while i was playing music (totally willing to pay for it). They said absolutely. However, Even though i was willing to pay, THEY REFUSED to give me any food after being there 3 1/2 hours. (I would've brought my lunch had i known). Something about, "all members needing to eat first" ??. I only had 20 min more to play, and asked again and they still refused - even tho the BBQ cooks outside were all laughing, playing grab ass and talking to each other (serving no one !!!) The very serious and uncaring Manager was rude and uncaring. The members on the other hand were awesome and happy, and coming up and complimenting and grabbing my card. Again, this review won't matter to anyone (except musicians be ware !!). If SACC cares at all about their south county reputation, then little character flaws like this will add up. "However you treat the least of my brothers, is how you treat me."
