Unfortunately, traffic & parking in Laguna was an absolute nightmare. We took separate cars and spent around 15-30 minutes just looking for parking, so we ended up running pretty late. Our instructor was about to ask us to reschedule since they had another class right after, which was understandable since their email warned us to arrive early. We felt so bad & apologetic especially since some of us drove all the way from SD and LA :') Thankfully, another instructor was kind enough to step in & accommodate our group! Those who arrived earlier were able to make 2 pieces (one on the wheel & the other by hand), while the latecomers only had enough time for 1. Despite the chaotic start, we still had such a fun time & especially enjoyed our second visit where we got to paint/glaze our own pieces! You also have the option to let the staff glaze for you in a solid color, which was convenient for those of us who lived farther away. The entire process took about 1-2 months from our first class to picking up our pottery. The team was also super communicative through email, answering all my questions and keeping me updated on when everything was ready. I know our group didn't make things the easiest for them, so I really appreciate how accommodating and patient the staff was!! Definitely recommend booking a class here, just make sure to give yourself PLENTY of time to find parking lol. Would love to come back :-)

We contacted Mary and set up two sessions (two hours each). Mary was very flexible and patient, and she tailored the sessions to our needs and desires. For our first session, she went through all of our photo settings and showed us how the camera worked, giving us lots of tips and advice (as well as helping us choose the best settings). For our second session, we decided to spend about an hour shooting our toddler (I told you she was patient), and then I spent an hour going over the basics of Photoshop Lightroom and editing some of the pictures we had taken together. For us, these sessions provided a great foundation of a mixture of basic skills, and we feel confident in our ability to take some great pictures on our Christmas vacation! We enjoyed Mary's friendly, welcoming personality in addition to her knowledge and skill. I was impressed by the way she assessed and responded to our skill level and desire for information, and I definitely hope to take one of her classes in the future.

I called Mary and she said as long as I gave her the Groupon code before the expiration date, I can sign up for a later date and she'd honor the Groupon. I really appreciated that! Anyway, we met in front of the statue at Treasure Island Park in Laguna Beach, then walked around while she showed us some cool camera tricks. She is the sweetest person too. She is patient and willing to work with people of all levels with any type of digital camera. One old man brought his really old point and shoot, and Mary did her best to help him too while giving the rest us her full attention. She really knows her stuff.

Communication from the first contact and throughout the planning stage was fantastic, and AR Workshop went above and beyond to specialize exactly what we wanted it to be, down to setting up a cute Happy Birthday banner and sign for my mother, and helping us watch for their car so we could have a proper "Surpriiiise!!". We had 15 ladies who had never done something like this before, and (with the help of a little wine) we all created and brought home something we love. THANK YOU to all our table helpers walking us through the process, everyone was so patient with us. If you're looking for an alternative to a regular party this is your place! I'm so happy we decided on AR Workshop rather than a hosted dinner or something traditional- everyone who attended has reached out to me to say how much fun they had!! I will absolutely come back and want to support this business, A++ business from start to finish. Thank you Brooke, Miles, and the whole crew at AR Workshop! You are top notch. Rebecca
