I just moved away from the bay area and honestly this studio is one of the things I miss most. Highly, HIGHLY recommend

I was surprised to have a couple of pieces I might hang on my wall.

In this class, we made: - a set of stacked bowls - salad/ramen bowls - lidded forms - tall vases formed by stacking two sections - hand built teapots I've taken classes at a few studios and there were a few things that were different about this studio compared to other studios where I've taken classes: - Clay was included and our class shared bags of Bmix and recycled clay. - Open studio hours were $50 extra and hours are dependent on the class you're taking. Ours was weekdays before 6 PM and weekends between 1:30-7 PM. - There's plenty of shelving at this studio but you need to add stickers to green ware with your name and class code. - After the class ends, they store finished pieces in boxes on a shelf to make room for the next class. I loved that they had test tiles for every combo of glazes! I also love the Google Drive they have for students to share pictures of their favorite glaze combos. My personal favorite glaze combos were: - Hyacinth under Koke Blush - Hyacinth under Castile Blue - Hyacinth under Burnt Caramel - Cappuccino under Lunar Grey - Cappuccino under Hyacinth - Cappuccino under Coral Spice - Cappuccino under Koke Blush - Cappuccino under Castile Blue - Lunar Gray under Kelp Forest
