    The butt of the piggy bank I made!
    Katie W.

    This place is really neat. I stumbled upon this storefront when I was unsuccessful in finding a piggy bank for Kolten that wasn't so darn cookie-cutterish. It's right off the main street in downtown wyandotte, and there is parking in front and across the street. When you walk inside there are tables and chairs with cups of paintbrushes and other ones with rinsing water in them. The walls are lined with shelves of everything from plates, platters, cookie jars, wine goblets, chip & dip holders, tooth fairy boxes, piggy banks, ornaments, pitchers, plaques, fan pulls, flower pots, just about everything. The first time in, I was just getting some information and a feel of the rules, etc. There is an $8 studio fee [includes all the paint, utensils, glazing, and putting it in the kiln... well worth it] and then the cost of the item(s) you want to decorate. When I went back to paint my piggy bank, the girls were very helpful in telling me how to choose my paints and things of that nature. I sat at the end of a table, working contently on my gift/project for Kolten. There were a few different groups of people working intently on their pottery too- one dad with his two children painting easter eggs, a small group of older ladies making keepsakes for a baby shower, and a large group of ladies working on various things together. I just so happened to go on a Saturday where they were offering 1/2 off studio fee... cha-ching! They have a "Party room" 2 doors down from their actual store front. If kids want to have their birthday party there and invite friends to come and make their own trinkets, they get a free plate to decorate and make their own. This place was so worth it, and I picked my lil piggy bank up one week later, shiny and perfect! I will definitely be spotted here again, making all those sentimental gifts for grandma and grandpa! haha!

    We definitely recommend coming to Ford City Potters for a creative, fun experience. Gisele Bick…read moreand Lisa Gabriele are awesome instructors. We have not done pottery since we were teens and in 2 hours, we created some amazing pieces . They were helpful, organized, friendly, and the work space was great. We cannot wait to come back and play again. Thank you so much for opening this wonderful place .

The tactile nature of working with clay is deeply meditative, creating a deeper connection to your creative side. Stress Relief and Mindfulness: Pottery is more than just an art form; it's a therapeutic practice. It's true! It's science! The process of shaping, smoothing, and perfecting clay has proven to be incredibly calming. Working with clay might not burn the same amount of calories as yoga, but you can enter a state of mindfulness, reducing stress and tension from your busy life. Social Connection: It's hard to make new friends when you're older. But joining a pottery class is a fantastic way to meet new people and build a sense of community. We see it every day, people making new friends while making something with their hands. sharing tips, techniques, and stories with fellow potters. It's the sweetest thing.

    I've been taking handbuilding pottery classes at another space in town but I wanted to try out…read morewheel throwing before committing to a full semester. My hand/eye coordination is not great (which is why I tend to gravitate towards sculpture and more controlled building) but wheel throwing is such an amazing artform I wanted to give it a shot, but I knew if I didn't enjoy it right off the bat that I didn't want to be stuck for weeks doing it. Luckily, Yourist offers a "try it out" wheel throwing session once a month and I was able to sign up for the May session along with my husband, cousin, and aunt. It was so fun to do this experience together with my family and I surprisingly took to the wheel pretty easily. During this session you're given a tutorial on the equipment then a demo with explanation of how to throw your own bowl, including posture, hand positioning, and tips for success. Then you're given three balls of wedged clay and are let loose to practice on your own as they instructors work the room to help you if you're struggling and cheer you on if you're doing well. You're then welcome to keep any three of the bowls you make and they'll fire and glaze them (based on your choice of glaze for each piece) for you for pick up a month later. First piece is $10 with every additional piece $5. I'm proud to say that I made 2 very nice bowls and one bowl that turned into more of a sake cup after I got too ambitious and the top of my bowl collapsed. But they all looked nice in their own way so I decided to keep all three. The glazes they have are really lovely, too, and make any piece, no matter how wonky (like my sad sake cup) look beautiful. I also found I loved the experience so much that for my next class I signed up for a hybrid wheel throwing and handbuilding class so I could get better at both. I also really enjoyed my time at this studio and have bookmarked several classes I'd like to take there in the future, including day workshops focused on specific topics. Once I feel confident enough in my foundational education I hope to also join the community workspace where, for a monthly fee, you have access to their studio to work independently. It's such a welcoming environment, I highly recommend checking it out!

    This is a cool little studio. I was actually just stopping in at the convenience store that's in…read morethe same little strip mall and thought I'd stop in to see what Yourist was about. They have a tiny one-room gallery, but it's full of nifty pottery. Some of the items are mostly decorative, but the display also included useful items, like an olive oil/garlic plate, a soap holder, mugs and so on. There were many items for sale under $20 and even several under $10, and this would be a good place to pick up unique gift items for the artsy friend on your Christmas list. The other half of the Yourist building is a studio/art school. They offer classes for beginners and more advanced students, ranging from a beginner's class in throwing pottery on the wheel to a class in learning to glaze and paint the pottery you've already created. In addition to several classes for adults, they offer after-school kids clay classes as well, at pretty reasonable rates.
