    My friend Te-see and I were looking for an adventure. We decided to "throw some clay" as she said, and found Pottery Studio 1. It was easy to make a reservation and pay online. I ended up parking in the lot behind the building which was $10. When the time came for our session, we had a bit of trouble locating the studio. It was a Sunday afternoon, and I think some of the building entrances are locked. We ended up walking around to the back and the security guard gave us directions on where to go. We were greeted promptly and checked in. First, we were given a chance to view some of the other creations there to help us decide what to make. Princess and Rhiley were great--very helpful and patient with all of us. When the time came to get messy, Princess guided us along the way. It was a bit scary, but she calmed our nerves. This was a great way for me to get some good use out of my Meta Glasses. I was able to take photos and videos even while my hands were covered in clay! Then we were given an opportunity to design the pieces. It takes about 6 weeks for the pieces to be available for pickup and you have a month after it's ready to pick it up. Follow their website and their IG account for updates on when pieces are available. We would both definitely come back here to experience this again!

    Who wants to throw some clay?! I do, I do!!!! And this is just the place to do that! My friend Danielle and I wanted to do something out of our usual comfort zone and she suggested a pottery class...We signed up for a 2 hour session on a Sunday afternoon which was perfect! Less DTLA traffic and free street parking if you can find a spot! Princess & Rhiley greeted us when we entered then walked us through the steps for our session. The 2 of us and a young couple had Princess as our guide and she was AMAZING!!!! I loved how she helped us and encouraged us throughout our entire session. Both her and Rhiley were fantastic! We started at the wheel then moved over to the table to finish our projects. I made a bowl with another small bowl attached to the side. Danielle made a bowl. It was so much fun! *The cost: $90 for 2 hours/1glazing process or $130 for 2 hours/paint & glaze 2 times for dishwasher & food safe *you can pick up your pottery 3 weeks after your class if you don't paint it here *4 weeks if you paint it *On Sunday you may have to enter from the lobby on Broadway then take the elevator all the way in the back to the Lobby on 2nd Street *Parking in the lot behind the building $10 or meter parking if you can find it *Great for birthday's, large groups, and classes available. ~ and that's all I have to say about that ~

    We booked a couples pottery class for our anniversary. We had Princess as our instructor and she was super fun and helpful! We appreciated all of her tips and insight, as this was our first time doing any type of pottery. This was such a fun date experience!

    Pottery!

    First time here and we absolutely loved the experience! Rhiley Jane took her time walking us through each step with so much patience and made it really fun. I had such a great time and didn't expect pottery to feel so peaceful and calming. I'm honestly considering getting a membership after this class. She also graciously offered to take a photo of us at the end, which was such a sweet touch! Also, parking was super convenient--located right behind the building.

    Really fun session with Rhiley Jane and Emi! They gave really great guidance and took the time to help us make our pieces beautiful!

    Riley and Princess were amazing in our class and we had the best time learning and creating! They were both detailed and helpful in teaching. Best way to spend a Sunday evening!

    This class is a good date night! Our instructor Princess guide is thru each and every step. She is very patient and very good on what she does. My Boyfriend and I enjoyed this experience a lot. It gave us creative freedom to express our design using clay. It was something new for us. We definitely enjoyed this activity

    Came in with my daughter today and had the best time with Princess, she has such a sweet demeanor and soooo patient. Made it a completely enjoyable experience. 10/10 recommend!

    Deshawn E.

    Super fun and extremely relaxing. Princess was an amazing instructor, led with a very calming tone and tips to make our pieces turn out exactly the way we wanted. This was a great way to celebrate our 1 year anniversary!

    Our instructor Riley Jane was amazing and glad we did the late night session since it was more 1 on 1 which we definitely needed.

It was such a fun class, and as first-timers to pottery, we felt like it was a great introduction. The instructors were helpful, and the whole process was really enjoyable. I'd definitely come back to make something new. Once you're done, they glaze your piece for you, and you'll have to come back a few weeks later to pick up the finished product.

We were led upstairs, and I was surprised by the rooftop pond, and how beautiful the koi fishes were! You can also see the Hollywood sign in the distance. It was a very serene space. Filming is welcome (a plus for capturing memories!), and parking is free right out front. Just note: the lot is pretty small, so I recommend arriving early to snag a spot. Our instructor was super informative and made sure to spend time with everyone in the class, walking us through every step of the process. It was hands-on and beginner-friendly, which made it all the more enjoyable. The only downside is the wait bc our finished bowls took about 6-8 weeks to be ready after shaping them on the wheel. But honestly, it was worth it--they turned out beautifully :')

The instructors are your biggest asset, keep Ashley at all costs! I don't know what she makes but give her a raise!! she deserves it!!! Very few people have the gift to teach.

Pottery studio owners, without your great instructors your studio won't fair well. Treat them well, pay them well and you'll have people coming back again and again. Ashley for the win!

    Born to do art, forced to write emails...I know I've been saying this a lot (especially w/all the…read moregreat businesses I've found lately), but seriously I'm so happy this place exists. ARTime BARRO is part pottery studio, part community space, and is a relaxing, chill place where you can unleash the creativity you thought was dead, where your artistic spirit gets to come out to play, if only for just a little bit of time in this crazy world. On a recent weekend, I had the opportunity to take the One-Time Class, which is a one-hour course designed for complete beginners. You get to make two pieces, one by hand at the table and one on the pottery wheel. The class size was small (just 5 people) and we got great 1:1 instruction and guidance from our knowledgeable instructor Max. I've always wanted to try the wheel and was surprised how hard it was to use it but it was such a great experience that I think everyone should try at least once. After you sculpt your pieces, you are invited to come back to hand paint (glaze) your work at no additional cost. You can also have them do a one-color glaze for you, but after I saw all the multi-colored pieces of other folks previous to me, it was no contest to decide that I wanted to color my pieces myself. You have up to 3 months to come back to glaze so it's very doable in anyone's busy LA (corporate) lifestyle. Pricing was very reasonable for such a cool bespoke experience. There are a lot of pottery painting studios (e.g. Color Me Mine) but this is awesome bc you get to make the pottery AND color it later! I've already recommended this place to countless people!

Our instructor was friendly and gave clear directions on how to mold our pieces. We each made 2 pieces, so the one hour really flew by. We had the option to come back to glaze our pieces or have the studio glaze them for us, and opted for the latter. There's a small lot behind the building, but it was full when I went. It wasn't difficult to find free street parking on a Sunday evening in this area. The pottery pieces could use a bit of extra care in handling (my wheel-thrown piece had rough edges and a random piece stuck on that wasn't there initially, and the glazing didn't look thorough on my other piece), but overall I was happy with my pieces. This was a fun experience, and worth the value!
