Their selection of pottery is so large and we took a very long time to pick. They have so many fun tools to use. It only took a week for our creations to be done which was amazing!!

My friend and I were really excited to attend our first ever pottery class. Upon entering we were…read moregreeted by the teachers and they explained the whole process to us. The studio is a bit small but and enough space for you to roam about and do your thing. The first step was to handle the clay then they thought us how to handle the wheel and then we got to choose if we wanted a vase, a cup or a bowl. We were in a small group of 6 due to which the teachers could explain and help us well. We ended up upgrading our class to include paint as well as we got to know that without the paint we won't be able to use the things we made of it involves water. My friend made a cute cup and I made a not so cute vase. I would definitely say that but the end of the class, we were rushing a bit and would have appreciated some help and tips from the teachers but we didn't get any. We had to constantly ask about things and where the brushes were and where the paints were. Since it was our first ever class, we would have appreciated a bit more help from the teachers in managing our time and helpful tips on how to glaze correctly instead of having to ask everything ourselves when we are already rushing. Regardless, we had a lot of fun and can't wait to pick up our pieces soon!

When we finally asked for help, one person admitted he didn't know what to do because they had barely run this class before. We weren't given mixing sticks, so our soap hardened while we waited and had to be reheated for another 15 minutes. They also had no drinking water, no bags to transport the finished soap, and would not let me place my purse on one of the many empty chairs even though it kept falling onto the dusty floor. Staff spoke to us only about three times, for less than a minute each. The entire class was disorganized, poorly staffed, and absolutely not worth the money.

You know, I've had my personal strifes while working here, but I decided to be professional and…read moreleave on a good note when I quit. Even though I didn't even get to finish my two weeks since you cut my last week, I still decided to be respectful. You called me, telling me that I was always welcomed back whether I come as an employee or not, and that the door will always be open for me. I guess that doesn't apply anymore, as when I came to paint with my girlfriend for our anniversary, you were so aggressive with me. Talking about, "Ex employees aren't allowed back in the studio. It was in the papers you signed." Well, I checked those papers, and it was nowhere to be seen. I also had visited the studio shortly after quitting and ran into you, no mention of that rule. Typical of you, making up stuff to fit your agenda whenever because you assume no one will check you. As an owner and a boss, you are supposed to protect your employees. Instead, you let customers verbally abuse employees over the policies that YOU made. All while you hide in the back, telling your employees not to go up to you over customer complaints because you don't want anyone knowing that you're the owner. Not only do you not protect your employees, you yell at them and belittle to the point of tears. You go from zero to one hundred real fast over the most mundane mistakes whereas you make the same mistakes or worse. You also yell at employees for doing things incorrectly, but you refuse to train anyone properly, leaving the training to other employees who barely even know what to do. You hire all these people with artistic backgrounds, but terrorize them to the point where they lose their passion for creativity. Also, for a place of creativity, you constantly rely on generative AI and chatgpt instead of encouraging your employees to be creative and come up with their own ideas. There's a reason that you have such a high employee turnover rate. No one's conspiring against you, you are genuinely the worst person anyone has ever had the displeasure of working for. You're narcissistic and apathetic. You have no sympathy for anyone, and are only profit-driven. You refuse to increase anyone's pay or give them raises, calling the minimum wage increase people's raise. For someone who makes $80 profit on pieces only worth $2, you sure act like you don't have the money to pay employees what they are worth. As if lying to both customer and employee's faces isn't bad, you actively encourage employees to lie to customers too. You want employees to lie that you aren't the owner so you don't get any rightfully deserved backlash. Want them to lie about events getting canceled due to "unforeseen circumstances," when in reality you canceled them because you didn't get the turnout that you expected, et cetera. You are so greedy with money, that you refuse to give people refunds whenever they can't go to an event anymore or if their piece breaks or shivers. Speaking of broken or shivered pieces, there's a chance that a customer's piece isn't their original piece. Employees are made to replicate pieces because for whatever reason you don't want to just let the person paint another piece or refund them. There's so much more I could say or include in this review, but I will just give a warning to any returning or potential customers. Do not come here. Not only is everything overpriced, but if you care about the sanity or mental wellbeing of the employees here, it's not worth a trip. There are better and less expensive pottery studios in Chicago that don't treat both customers and employees like crap. If you do still decide to visit this studio and plan on tipping, make sure you bring cash. The owner can decide who gets tips and how much they get from the tip pool. Albeit illegal, she withholds tips from employees she does not like. (P.S. I still went inside to pick up my pieces)

The instructor we had was extremely rude. She had brownish reddish hair. This made the experience high-pressure and felt like we couldn't really ask questions because of her attitude & rushing us. Especially during the demo. Her service was not good making the ambiance hard to enjoy. Once we sat down to tuft our own rugs. The Tufting itself was tedious, but once you get into the flow state, it can be very therapeutic. I'd rate my hands on tufting experience a five out of five. The demo experience was a two out of five. As time went on other instructors came around to give us some tips and tricks they was helpful. You get three hour slots. I do feel like it should be at least 3 and a half hours because once you get the hang of tufting, the instructors will come around to let you know what you need to fix periodically. I would come back, but probably to their other location in Bridgeport.This location Uptown was decent. You do get your moneys worth out of this experience far is the end result.
