Had such an amazing experience at Potter Studio! Princess, Aiden, and Tammie were all incredibly kind, patient, and super knowledgeable about pottery and using the pottery wheel. They made the whole experience feel welcoming and fun, even for beginners. Our session lasted about 2 hours, and we genuinely had the best evening. The atmosphere was relaxing, hands-on, and such a fun activity to do with others. I also love that they offer group sessions, which would be perfect for friends, family, or date nights. Would definitely recommend and will absolutely be back! read more

Our pottery instructor, Rhiley Jans was so friendly, and very welcoming. They made this class fun and enjoyable. I had an awesome experience with pottery class with my partner and will definitely come back for more pottery.

The class felt intimate, comfortable, fun and easy to follow through. Looking forward to our result pottery to pick up! Thank you! read more

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! read more

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 ~ read more

This was so much fun, thanks to Princess and Rhiley! It was my husband's and my first time taking a pottery class, so we really appreciated how patient they were with us, especially me, because Lord knows I kept messing up on the wheel and asking a ton of questions while painting. The first half of the class was on the wheel, where Princess guided us through forming and sculpting our pottery pieces. She had to step in and help me quite a few times... okay, a lot of times, because I was definitely struggling lol. My husband, on the other hand, was doing pretty well. He made an ashtray, and I made a jewelry dish. After that, we dried the clay and moved over to the table with Rhiley to paint. That part was so therapeutic, and I'm really excited to see how our finished pieces turn out. Rhiley let us know they'll be ready in about 3-4 weeks, and that we need to remember to pick them up ourselves since the studio does not call. She did mention that they post the piece numbers on Instagram, and a number was stamped on the back of each of our pieces. We took the class on a Sunday and parked in one of the public parking lots nearby. We purchased the 2-person, 2-hour pottery class through Groupon for $170. Since we wanted to paint and have the pieces glazed, we paid an additional $40 per person. Overall, this was such a fun and relaxing experience, and I'd definitely recommend it for a date or something different to do. read more

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. read more

My partner surprised me with a private pottery class at Pottery Studio 1 and it was such a special experience. It was my first time ever throwing clay, and having a one-on-one environment made it feel really comfortable and personal. Our instructor, Princess, was wonderful. She struck the perfect balance of guiding us while still letting us take the lead so the pieces truly felt like our own creations. Anytime we had an idea, she helped us figure out how to actually make it happen on the wheel, which made the whole process feel really empowering and creative. Princess also brought such great energy to the class -- she was patient, encouraging, and genuinely fun to spend time with. You can tell she really enjoys teaching and helping people experience pottery for the first time. The whole experience felt really intimate and memorable. It was such a fun and unique date idea, and we left feeling proud of what we made. I would absolutely recommend Pottery Studio 1 to anyone looking for a creative experience, especially if you're new to pottery. Highly recommend -- and if you can, take a class with Princess! read more

I took a group of high school students to this studio for a field trip. Our instructors Rhiley, Gissel, Gabby, and Princess were so attentive, and helpful. They knew how to work with our students, how to explain the process in a very accessible and informative way. Our teacher and counseling staff chaperones raved about the experience after and are already requesting future field trips here again! More importantly our students had a wonderful experience learning, and were exposed to a new art medium in an environment that was not pretentious, that made it safe for them to be their authentic selves, and inspiring. Thank you to the staff who were there today to help us. What a beautiful space! read more
