    My sister and I had the best time at one of the workshops. Dave was so funny, helpful, knowledgeable, and just overall outstanding. He created a judgment free environment, and the whole class was interacting and laughing with each other the entire time. The price of the workshop is such a great value for the experience and education you get, not to mention the fact you get to take home what you create. We would absolutely go back again, it was such a fun evening. Such a perfect activity for a date, girls/sister night, or a gift for loved ones!

    Amazing studio with great atmosphere for beginners to advanced potters. Dave and his team are all very accommodating for anyone taking the classes and wants everyone to walk away with pieces they love. If something comes up and you need to switch class dates the instructors are happy to accommodate. Highly recommend Dave and all the instructors at Park West Ceramics. As a beginner I felt welcome.

    I can't say enough good about this studio! It's exactly what I was looking for, I haven't touched clay in about 4 years and took a 2 hour wheel throwing class last night. The attendees were all super nice, a lot of couples, people brought wine and we all chatted, we started on wheel throwing and Dave the instructor and owner was SO patient and nice, he got hands on with some student that's needed it and was very informative. We each finished a beautiful bowl we can come back to pick up in 2 weeks. If you paid in cash you got a discount so the class was only $40 which was great, it's a great location and for a clay studio it was VERY clean! I'll be back for the 8 week class! Update: you pick up your pieces 2 weeks later! Love them!

    Since my initial review, Dave has graciously refunded the cost of the workshop, so I consider us square.

    Does anyone know when registration usually opens for each 8-week session? I'm assuming they fill up fast, so I want to register as close to the opening date as possible!

    Same question... George E.

    Is this studio still open? I tried calling and texting and emailing and have received no response.

    I've also been trying to call, email and text with no response. If they want customers, they should be a bit more responsive!

    I attended a friend's baby shower at Indigo & Violet and it was the perfect afternoon. The space is…read morebright and welcoming and bursting with crafty creations. We first gathered in the back where there is a bar and enjoyed some drinks, macaroons, and charcuterie. The space was able to hold about 20 of us comfortably. For our activity, we water color painted an alphabet book for the baby. Each page consisted of a letter and accompanying animal tracing, so our job was just to fill it in. I'm pretty sure the owner did all the outlines for us, which was incredibly impressive! The painting was so relaxing, therapeutic, and fun! I love that my friend will have this book to look back on to remember the fun day. They offer SO many fun and crafty classes here. Wreath building, calligraphy, embroidery, macrame, and that is truly just the tip of the iceberg. If you're interested in picking up a new hobby or exploring a craftier side, I think indigo + violet is the perfect place to look.

    I had my bridal shower at Indigo & Violet for ~20 guests and everything exceeded my expectations!…read moreLeigh, the owner of the studio, led us through a floral arrangement workshop and it was a beautiful, fun, and a unique event- everyone had so much fun. We brought our own snacks & bubbly, and saved extra time for presents/games. In total we used the space for 3.5 hours. The total price was very reasonable for a private event in Chicago and the studio set up was perfect! Leigh was very professional, responsive, and listened my vision - she provided the exact type of flowers/color scheme I asked for. It was a lovely event and I cannot recommend Indigo & Violet enough! Perfect for any bridal shower, baby shower, bachelorette party, birthday, or any special celebration!
