Ocisly Ceramics

I called ahead because we are a family of 6. I was able to reserve a spot same day! The staff so so nice and helpful. I highly recommend going. They have so many different items that can be painted. AND so many colors and techniques you can try. High recommend going as a family, friend group, or date night!!!

I went home, put it aside for a few days and when I finally get around to displaying it I notice these huge cracks in the glaze. I was confused, because it looked totally fine when I got it in the store, and I stored it indoors directly after taking it home. No extreme heat or sunlight or anything. I'm sure this is not from anything I did, because it is not a crack all the way through the piece and solely on the glaze. When I flipped it around I noticed MAJOR cracking on the bottom, as well as a ton of bubbles. As someone who's done ceramics (and consulted a few friends who've also done ceramics) this only happens because of improper glazing. I'm genuinely so upset. This was supposed to be a birthday present for myself. I tend to not blame people, because mistakes happen. But it seems the staff was either uncaring or not trained properly for the glazing/firing. My two friends did not have this problem, but unless you're willing to take the risk I wouldn't recommend coming here. This also makes me not want to visit the new one thats opening near me.

I'm sad they took away the canvas painting options as that was the reason we drove 30 min just to come to this specific location. My fault as I should have called first to double check if they still offered the canvas painting. This is the only location I knew of that did that. Oh well. There is a huge selection of pottery pieces to choose from. Prices vary pending on your selection. Came here with my daughter and she selected the cute little tea set. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the price at $54! But this is what she wanted so I cannot deny her happiness. Haha. I mean I can but I didn't know want to. It took me a while to find what I wanted to paint that was practical. We have so many pottery pieces the kids make that are just for decoration. Love when we make plates, mugs, bowls or any kitchen pieces as they are most practical. I chose the geometric vase! The vase was $37. There is also an additional $8/per person studio fee to use everything (brushes, paint, materials). This stuff can add up quickly. Our total was $117! Ouch. But fun and you can't put a price on fun experiences. Lol. Once you pick your piece, the staff will bring you a bowl of water and a paint palette. All brushes located at the tables. The you select the colors you want and put onto your palette and bring back to the table to start painting. We took our time and was here for 2 hours. But our pieces were meticulous. Ha. They also offer coffee here which is a nice bonus. Once you're done painting your piece, you can use the blow dryer to dry the paint, this prevents smearing. Give the finished pieces to the staff and they will label it for the final touch of glazing and thus completing the process. It takes about 7 days and they will call you when it's done so you can come back and pick up the finished product. Can't wait to see ours!

We sat outside because there was only two of us. If not, we were going to have to wait until someone was done. it was a beautiful day until it starts to get hot. The breeze dies down and people are smoking past you as you are outside. I am excited about getting my artwork. It'll take about two weeks.

There are no signs or instructions telling you where paint belongs, so we naturally brought it back to our table. Instead of politely explaining the process, the owner yelled at us and snapped, "You're not the only ones here!" Funny thing... we actually were the only customers there. The entire studio feels disorganized, and unfortunately, the owner's people skills are even more scattered. Her manners are almost their own form of comic relief--except no one was laughing. A little kindness, basic organization, and clear signage would go a long way. Pottery is supposed to be a relaxing, creative experience, not one where customers get scolded for not reading signs that don't exist. I won't be back, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a welcoming atmosphere. One star.

It was our very first pottery class, and while we were both excited, we were equally nervous about making something that didn't resemble a lopsided cereal bowl. Mercy immediately put us at ease with her genuine smile, approachable demeanor, and patient guidance. She has a gift for breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps that made the whole process feel fun and attainable. Whether it was explaining the basics of centering clay on the wheel or showing us how to shape it with precision, she never once made us feel rushed or intimidated. Instead, she encouraged us to embrace the imperfections, reminding us that pottery is as much about creativity and connection as it is about the finished piece. What really stood out was how attentive Mercy was to both of us. She noticed when my girlfriend's hands needed a little more water to smooth the clay, or when my wheel speed was a bit too fast, and she gently corrected us without breaking our confidence. Her personalized attention made us feel like we were in the hands of a true professional who genuinely cared about our experience. By the end of the class, we had each created something we were proud of and more importantly, we had shared an experience that brought us closer together. Mercy celebrated our little victories with us and even took the time to share tips for improving if we decide to keep going with pottery in which we definitely will be.

Ocisly is a hidden GEM!!! I'm so excited for people to discover this amazing opportunity to tap into creativity and have a time to unwind from the day to day. I came across Ocisly one day looking for something adventurous to do on my day off and I'm so happy I did. I'm working on pushing myself out of my comfort zone and finding new creative outlets. Adam, Deb, and the team are so patient and passionate about what they're doing. They take time to demonstrate, and are hands on when its your time to put the clay on the wheel. I've never felt more welcomed and encouraged to simply be and create. Needless to say, I'm grateful for the space they're cultivating and the community that is flourishing from it. After my first R&B and throwing class, I signed up for their 4 week intro workshop. I'm hooked! read more

this was my first time ever doing pottery so I didn't know what to expect! A little nervous, I was instantly greeted by this gorgeous and beautiful home and friendly faces. Outside in the front was a glazing class but Cristina guided me to the back for the pottery and funk class. OCISLY made this so beginner friendly, intimate and an overall fun class. Adam - our instructor - was SO helpful in demoing and on hand individual help. I made some pieces that came out great (I REALLY did not expect to make some good pieces). I want to thank the OCISLY team for the event and an opportunity to meet and engage with new people. Take the opportunity to learn something new and meet some new people at OCISLY - you'll be surprised by your outcome. read more
