They offer a taste of this once a month for a minimum amount AND all the monies they collect that night (yes it's held in the early evening) goes to a local charity. Plenty of instructors are there to help your hands produce pottery beauty. Not to worry if you are unsure of your pottery skills. By the end of the evening, you will leave with a new kind of pride. A very inexpensive way to dabble in pottery. Best news is there are plenty of classes to make you into the pottery master you always wished

Love this place! I'm taking a a beginners hand building pottery class. It's a weekly series for 7…read moreweeks, and it's been so fun! Tiff, our instructor, is fantastic. She's super knowledgeable and helpful during our classes, and adapts the class to our projects. The space is quite big, and has a very nice atmosphere. You can bring food/drinks while you're in the studio, and you can even get some snacks/drinks while you're there. Dogs also roam the studio while their owners are working. Paseo donates a ton of money to local charities which is so sweet. They're a non-profit and you can "vote" on where you want the money to go. I'll probably take another class here. So fun!

We had a blast! We signed up for this class knowing we would be in town for a couple of days. It…read morewas hands on and is definitely something we will always remember! The class size was just right, enough people to make it fun and social, but still small enough that everyone got involved. Chef Mica kicked things off by giving us an overview of the history of the area, its chile traditions, and the differences between the peppers we'd be working with and seeing around the city. That context added so much depth to the cooking, it wasn't just a class, it was a cultural experience. Each of us prepared a different type of relleno, and then at the end we all sat down and shared the full spread together buffet style. It was such a fun way to learn, connect, and taste a variety of chiles without spending hours cooking everything on your own. It was well organized, engaging, and easy to follow. My anxiety did kick in once I realized other people would also be eating what I made, but we made it through and I loved what I got, the jalapeno poppers. You can feel the passion in what the chef does and everything ran very smoothly even though we were the last done lol Come hungry and ready to learn! We walked away with some new skills, a deeper knowledge of peppers, and some great recipes we can't wait to try at home. This truly will be memorable for us!

Our class was on salsa sauces with different peppers and home made tacos. The class started with the chef walking us through the printed recipes and what was wrong with them. (Maybe redo these with correct recipes? And then go right to cooking and teaching?) Then we all chopped and cooked. At the end we got to taste everybody's products.

Walked in today (11/10/25) TO THE OWNER OF THIS STORE: you have a VERY nasty employee (female,…read morethin, tallish, 40-50's) who likes to give customers the evil eye for absolutely no reason. My friend and I were browsing, speaking to each other and I looked at this woman and she was actually staring me down with the most evil, nasty look on her face. So, if there was a million things in your store I wanted to purchase, I would have not bought one because of her. I'm sure she's turned many a customer off. EDIT: looking at the many years of terrible reviews, it's clear owner/management could care less how their staff behaves.

Artful Soul Santa Fe…read more I took a Saturday night painting class here and had such a great experience. I worked on a landscape inspired by the hills of Taos, and what really stood out wasn't just the painting itself--it was how the whole evening felt. Laura and Mickey are wonderful teachers. They guide you step by step in a way that's clear and supportive, but never rigid. There's a real encouragement to follow your own vision, to experiment, and to not take it all too seriously. It creates this relaxed, creative energy where you can actually enjoy the process instead of worrying about getting it "right." The whole space feels warm and welcoming, and it's easy to settle in and just paint. By the end of the night, I felt both proud of what I made and inspired to keep going. If you're looking for a fun, supportive place to explore painting, I'd definitely recommend checking out a class here.

Thank you so much Theo! Your pottery class was the highlight of our trip, we are so grateful-- and…read morebased on my experience with you I'm actually looking into pottery wheel classes back home. I came to Santa Fe on a bachelorette trip, which I planned for my sister. She was interested in pottery and we found this absolute gem of a place. I cannot recommend highly enough! Every one of the 6 of us who went felt rejuvenated after the class, it was a fun, creative experience but also somehow meditative. Theo brings the best vibes and was a great, wise, kind leader of the class. I will definitely try to come back on a future visit and if you are contemplating a class or experience, contemplate no further--- pick this one!!

Phenomenal pottery selection in a lovely setting - both the store and the neighborhood. I…read morepurchased two pieces there in June 2021. Prices are fair and the quality is very high. I also rented studio space to do hand building while living in Santa Fe for the month of June. The studio is beautiful, with excellent lighting and very good equipment. Big tables, lots of shelf space. The sign up schedule is easy to understand and the hours available are generous and a reasonable price. Theo was easy to work with, answered questions quickly and was so accommodating. I've worked in many clay studios and besides how well it is is equipped, there is always a vibe, an energy. The energy that Theo has created here is creative, generous, gracious and warm and it attracts clay artists who fit that description perfectly. Loved every minute I spent there, eager to return.

I was driving down Paseo de Peralta and saw a bright yellow "Yarn Etc." sign poking out of a yard -…read moreso I drove around trying to figure out where to park and didn't find anything obvious, so I went about my day. Later while looking up yarn stores on Yelp I found the listing for Miriam's Well and saw the location was right where that sign was, so I called to ask about parking. Miriam answered and told me where to park (the first driveway past the sign while going clockwise on PdP, you have to go down the alley to the end then turn right and then you'll find her shop and a couple places to park in front of it. She has a great little yarn shop with supplies for weavers as well as knitters and crocheters. Miriam is a very nice lady with a great selection of yarns - standards like Berroco, Cascade, Plymouth, Noro as well as a lot of more hard-to-find and more local options as well. Some really gorgeous stuff! She has many sample garments prepared, I'm not sure if they were for sale but there were so many I suspect that some of them are. I myself came out of there with a skein of Great Adirondack sock yarn and a skein of Plymouth Yarns "Happy Feet". Prices were pretty standard compared to other similar shops, she did have a couple specials as well. I will be sure to visit every year when I'm in town!
