I went to Cantareras with a group expecting a fun experience, but it ended up being really…read moredisappointing. The instructor singled out one person in our group and was extremely rude to them the entire time. Instead of teaching or helping, she acted like everyone should already know what they were doing and made that person feel embarrassed in front of the whole group. We paid to have a good time, not to watch someone get talked down to. It made the whole experience uncomfortable for everyone there. If you're looking for a relaxed and enjoyable outing with friends, I would not recommend this place. After our visit, I noticed a review from two years ago describing the exact same issue with another instructor, so it seems like this hasn't changed.

We came in on very short notice and they were able to accommodate us and make us feel comfortable and welcomed none the less. I would highly recommend this place for team bonding or even just a nice date!

I love art so I could spend hours here. I enjoy learning about all types and just looking at it. My…read morewhole life has always involved art somehow. I've taken classes, I have relatives who are talented artists, I've met several artists in my life. Anyway...Flor de Barro offers classes to the community. They start at around $35 and up. They invite the public to have mimosas on Sunday afternoons. They also have other events for anyone whose interested. For example, their Dia de los Muertos altar/art was great. I enjoyed seeing it very much. They even gave out hot cocoa and pan de muerto to visitors. Follow them on social media and/or check out their website for more info. You can also subscribe to their email blasts. The main thing Flor de Barro is known for is their hand crafted pottery from Mata Ortiz. Mata Ortiz is a small village in Chihuahua, Mexico. It's a 4.5 hour drive from El Paso. Some of the art is pricey but beautiful to look at. However, smaller pieces are really affordable. I saw a tiny pot I really love for $6. I'll most likely go back and get it. There are some larger pieces that cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The staff is always friendly and hospitable. I like that they don't pressure anyone into buying the art. They let you look around and take photos freely. They're all about building genuine relationships with those who visit. Flor de Barro seems to update their inventory often. I saw a beautiful nativity scene that wasn't there a month ago. Those who aren't in El Paso can also shop online via their website. Several, if not all of these pieces, would make fine gifts. I highly recommend visiting Flor de Barro, whether you plan on buying something or not. We're supposed to learn something new everyday. I think you will here.
