I am not really an art person, so I am not able to judge how exactly the technique kid obtains or how much they improve precisely, but I feel it worth it. Not sure if they can manage everything perfectly when it scales up with more teachers, so far so good.

If you've ever wanted to learn pottery, this is the place for you! I took an 8-week class this…read morefall, and learned so much along the way. I'm leaving with a newfound respect for pottery, and so absolutely impressed with the management of this studio. Since ClaySpace is a nonprofit, you aren't nickel and dimed for every service, and the people here truly love their craft. Even in simple things like the management of kiln firings, there is such care taken in each step in the process and everyone here, students, instructors and resident artists alike, are just so friendly and helpful as you learn pottery. Fees for courses and supplies are super reasonable, and I am so glad to have found ClaySpace to continue my exploration of pottery.

I had an unusual experience during open lab on Saturday morning. The space was quite crowded, and I…read moreapproached a table to ask if I could join. A woman seated there indicated that it would not be a problem. However, when I stepped away briefly to retrieve a tool, I was approached by a lab aide and instructed to move, as the table was apparently reserved for RAs. There was no visible signage or indication that the table was designated for that purpose. Additionally, to my understanding, RAs have access to a separate workspace, but they'll use of shared student space--especially during a busy open lab-- is somewhat confusing. Then another RA was complaining how students should know better, which is odd since the other RA said I could sit with her. Overall, the situation felt unclear, unwelcoming and rude.

My girlfriend and I attended the class on August 24. The location is in a house in a nice…read moreneighborhood. There's parking on the street and in the driveway. When we got there, we were met by our class instructor, My. I don't believe that you can pick the instructor that you have, but I would suggest if you had the opportunity to have her as your instructor, I would highly recommend her. She was so nice and kind. It was easy to follow her simple instructions, even though I had never made pottery before. She made me feel very welcomed and she was extremely encouraging as well throughout the whole process. I had such an enjoyable time and of course the pottery making itself was just a blast, but she really added to the experience, to be honest with you. They give you an apron and all the tools and clay and water that you need to create your pottery with, so you don't have to really bring anything except yourself and a great attitude. It was easy to go back and pick up the pottery, although my girlfriend did this for us. She's a sweetheart. My girlfriend and I have not stopped talking about this experience, nor our instructor My and how we're looking forward to going again in the future. If you're looking for a date idea, guys, this is a 10 out of 10 experience!!! You get to keep one of your creations, and then I think each additional one is $10 after that? You then get to choose from, I think it was eight different glazes? I think it took about 2-3 weeks to get the pottery back, but I wasn't really keeping track of that. I really can't rank this experience high enough. I had a wonderful time and I know you will too!! Enjoy yourselves! Just book a class already!!!!!

Watch for seasonal classes (heart paperweight! turkey ornament!). Unlike the other suburban glass studio I've taken classes at, they also have a gift shop, so you can buy something instead of having to take a class if that's your jam. You could also actually buy the piece used to advertise a class. Pieces are affordable and there's a wide variety (cute little succulent gardens, stained glass, glass ornaments, resin keychains, etc.). Class prices are similar or a little less than what I've seen elsewhere, and if you become a member they're cheaper. Yes, they do open studio. I took a resin class, which was easy and fun; the teacher was patient and helpful. Class sizes are small (I actually got a solo class as a group canceled at the last minute). The owner was there, who was happy to show me cool projects related to the class I took, as well as to offer information about other classes they do. Signage is pretty good; you have to drive down a driveway to get to the businesses on the ground floor - look for the sign. Lots of parking.
