Great experience with instructors Connor and Jessie. We got the Groupon for the pottery+painting for a girls night had a great time. They were really accommodating and provided a good vibe while maintaining professionalism. Hope to visit again. Can't wait to go pick up our pieces in a few weeks read more

Charlotte and Victoria were great teachers! Super happy with my piece and the experience!

First pottery class and I had so much fun! I enjoyed playing on the wheel and even got to make a second piece as well! Can't wait to use my bowl & ladle! Charlotte, Jharna, & Rachel were awesome teachers! All very patient and helpful! Definitely recommend giving Studio 1 a try! read more

had a great time with Victoria and Charlotte. made a cute bowl! The instructions were easy and the whole process was calm and cute

Did a class with Rachel and Charlotte! Both so helpful and fun to be able to paint it right away!

A truly wonderful experience for my daughter's birthday. Charlotte's calm skills made me feel like I knew what I was doing. Jordan's guidance and Victoria's patience were great for a small group of ten year olds. everything turned out amazing. Fun times indeed. read more

Updating my review as it seems that my previous experiences were due to getting lucky with my instructors rather than this class / studio. Can no longer recommend this place in good faith, especially given the plethora of other options around the city and even just in this neighborhood. After a poor experience this past weekend, I reached out to management who has been ghosting me, despite my outreach and having been a loyal customer (as noted in previous reviews, I am now a subscribing "member" to their studio). My sister and I signed up for a typical 2 hour class, expecting to use the wheel for nearly the entire 2 hours as we usually do (as members). Instead, the class started 10min late, my sister and I were told I could only use the wheel for a bit and then had to wait for others to swap onto the wheel (when I said we didn't need to be supervised, we were told we could use the one extra wheel - even tho there were 2 empty wheels). In total I spent sub-30min on the wheel before the other couple got onto the wheel and my sister had to move to the painting section even though she didn't have 1.5hr of material to paint. Once the couple was done, she swapped back to the wheel and so did I. Then Aayah, one of the instructors, told us we were supposed to do all our throwing in the first hour, but how is that possible if we had to wait for others to throw? As a member, I was told we could throw the entire time if we liked, not that we had to spend half the time painting. Then when I wanted to spend the last 5 min of class quickly trimming my piece (remember we started 10min late, so we should have actually had an extra 15min), Aayah was huffy with us and told me I couldn't because the "date night people paid extra to be alone", but I paid for my full 2 hours and didn't get it. In general, she was also just very grumpy with us, constantly mumbling under her breath about us. All in all, it felt like I got all the difficulties of studio time (ie., minimal help, only help centering and no guidance on what I was doing after - teachers chatting with each other / eating while we were throwing and only helping the other couple), without the freedom to do what I wanted for the entire two hours. If I wanted 2 hours of studio, I could have booked another pottery location and saved myself the headache. Plus as the cherry on top, we were told to clean up everything we were using unlike the other couple who was working alongside us (and who signed up for the same class). read more

Amazinnnnng experience! Loved this class so much! Will be returning again! Gabby and Alex were great and attentive. read more

This was my first time trying pottery class. We took a 2-hour class and had an incredible time. I loved that it's more or less a private experience as there was only one other group booked for the same time and with two instructors, we basically got a private session. They will walk you through each step of the wheel throwing process, such as how to throw, center, and shape the clay. Within the allowed time limits, you can make as many as you want. You will have to choose one final product among the ones you've made for firing. You can also choose to paint the pottery for an additional fee. My only complaint is that when we returned a few weeks later to pick up our products, one of the handles on my jar had broken. I understand that it can sometimes happen during the firing process, but the person who gave us the final products did not seem to care at all about it and offered no assistance when I mentioned it was broken. Otherwise though, the class itself was great. read more

This experience was fantastic. Our company had a team event here for all and we had a blast. Our table helper Chloe even took the time to help paint my pikachu and I couldn't be more thankful, didn't want to ruin it after all that work. But the rest of the team, Rachel, Alexis and Alex were also fantastic in all the process and explaining everything. read more

I had a great time at beginner pottery with Jharha, Alexis, and Victoria! I have never used a pottery wheel before and the last time I worked with clay by hand was when I was middle school, but Victoria was super patient helping me get my bowl to look exactly the way I wanted it to, and Alexis gave great pointers on painting! read more

Rachel and Sophia were excellent teachers for beginners like my me and my friend! Can't wait to see how our creations turned out.

If you're looking for a one off, all in one class then this is perfect! Shout to Maya and Maggie! read more

I took my wife for a 2 hour couples class for her birthday and we enjoyed it very much. It was our first time using the wheel and never thought we could finish a piece in 2 hours. The instructors (Alexis, Jharna, and Victoria) were so patient and helpful. The class was a lot of fun. I would highly recommend and would love to do more classes there in the future. read more

I had so much fun making a little matcha bowl, the instructors were all so sweet and even made it easy especially considering i have long nails. read more

The team is very welcoming and friendly. They are patient and informative for those new to pottery and have examples of what you can make depending on your experience level. To honestly wish the class was longer because you get lost painting your creation. Heaven was a great instructor and everyone was very accommodating to our asks (tripods, content shots, music choice). This is such a great place to bring family, friends, or even a date. Would highly recommend read more

Alexis, Victoria, and Megan were so great! They were patient with beginners. We brought snacks and they made it look so cute on the table.

Had a great Valentines Day with Ron helping us along the way, would definitely recommend for people of any level. Neither of us had any experience on the wheel and Ron helped us make sure both pieces turned out great! read more

Great time! Friendly instructors and super nice space! Would come here again and recommend it for anyone else considering it!

Very cute studio with friendly staff and nice materials. We had a great time here for a team event!

We went to the location in UWS and had Aliza as our teacher (might be spelling her name wrong). She was very passionate and talented. This was our first time doing it and she was great to work with. Might have found a new hobby for us, although our works were all a bit wonky I love them read more

Experience was fun. Pickup was not. On website it said my order was ready. I showed up and then they said they couldn't find my item. How? I called the head studio they said it needed to be fired. Okay, then why did you say it was ready? Then the next minute, shes says never mind, it's fired. Ten minutes later I get a text saying that the item is not fired. Make up your mind for real! Instructor at pickup was pretty rude and ignored me and didn't bother to help at all. Wasted more than hour and still didn't get pickup. Update again: got a text after i left studio to pickup, i dont know if i can trust them when I wasted more than an hour to pickup originally read more

Goooo To Pottery We went on our company retreat to Pottery Studio. I was a beginner, suuuper scared. Lissandra, Daphne, and Ron kindly and patiently went through all the steps and demos I needed to learn how to make my own MUG! I can't stress how much fun this experience was. My staff of 8 alllll had fun!

Disappointed at the experience we had today. We felt rush and the staff had an attitude. Spending $300 for something was supposed to be a fun experience turned out to be not what we expected. read more

Had my very first pottery class here and it was absolutely amazing! Our instructor, Alexandra was so helpful and made the experience so fun that we'd def come back again. My boyfriend made a tea mug and I made a doggy bowl for our dog, Oscar. My boyfriend was such a natural but I found it so therapeutic! Booking was super easy -- they text you a link to reserve/pay. We initially went with just the pottery making package but last minute decided to go with the paint one! No regrets, the paint really elevated our dishes and made it unique to our style. Overall, we loved it so much we discussed taking another class. Can't wait to pick up our items in a couple weeks! Really great date activity but would love to come with friends too :)) read more

Had a blast during our team offsite at Pottery studio 1 last week! The place is super cute and great for beginner or advanced pottery enthusiasts. I hadn't used a pottery wheel since high school, but had so much fun with Maria as my teacher. She was very patient and encouraging, and I can't wait to see my final creation after it dries. Our whole team had a great time. Would definitely recommend coming here for group outings. Request Maria; she's the best! read more

Had a great time at my class here! Sophia & Rachel were amazing instructors. They both were so patient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They made the experience really enjoyable for me. Thank you! read more

Great time at my first pottery class! Lily was a great instructor, and was patient even as some of us were slow to learn. Thank you!

Had a great experience here! My friend and I went because we have always been interested in making pottery. It was on our bucket list of things to do in NYC. We made a mug each (using the wheel) and then one piece of pottery that was handmade. They provided stencils for shapes to use for the handmade pottery. I made a hand-shaped piece of pottery and my friend made a leaf. We spent a lot of time making the shapes but not enough painting and you only have 2 hours to make and paint the pottery. I suggest that the studio allocate more time for painting so maybe the session is 3 hours in total. We paid $120 each for the class and the glaze was included. I think you pay less if you don't want the glaze but the glaze is required so that you can actually use the mugs. Overall, a fun experience, highly recommend it! It also inspired me to buy clay and tools on amazon and make my own pottery. read more

Such a great time! Shoutout to Lily, she did amazing and was such great help! Had so so much fun and would definitely come back!

We had a lot of fun doing pottery this Sunday. It was great that we were able to try hand molding and wheel throwing in one class. They were also kind enough to give us over the allotted time to finish painting our pieces. The instructors were also really nice, but it would be helpful if we got a bit more instruction throughout the process. Can't wait to pick them up in 3 weeks! read more

We booked an appointment for today November 30th for 3 people for our daughter's 25th Bday. We get there and was told that the appointment was not for today it's for tomorrow Sunday at 8 pm. My daughter's father showed the confirmation which showed for Saturday Nov. 30th at 8pm. An apology was given and advice to call the number of another location. After speaking to someone who stated that is was their fault they moved the appointment without contacting us. Then was told he would call back in 5 minutes because he needed to reach a manager. We waited for 15 minutes and ended up calling back only to be told he could reach a manager and we would have to call on Monday regarding a refund. This is horrible business. I would not recommend this place at any location. Now we had to figure out something else for our daughter to do. Big Disappointment. read more

Glad to be finally done with this place. I just picked up my pieces. I walked into a room of 3 instructors sitting around doing nothing. It was the same nonchalant attitude as my first time here. My pieces have such bad glaze jobs. I have chips all over. I can't use my cup since the rim and inside are missing the clear glaze. Glad that I tried out a pottery class but I would not come back to this location. It's convenient but it's not worth it. read more
