In September 2025, hubby and I attended a clay pumpkin making workshop by Tracy Levy of Frickery…read moreFrackery Pottery. We were the first ones to arrive. I asked Tracy how many students were attending day, and her response was "Oh, 14-16 students!" This surprised me as the workshop was sold as a maximum of 8 students. Once everyone arrived, sure enough there was barely enough room to work, with everyone squeezed in a tight space. Her studio is located within a shared shop space, so there was lots of noise going on with a TV and chatter from the other tenants' businesses, which made it hard to hear instructions. She also didn't have enough tools and materials to accommodate 16 students, and only 1 assistant to help with the whole class. They ran out of balloons to help support the pumpkin structure, and we had to make do by scrunching up random plastic pieces and stuffing it in our pumpkins instead. I also had other students keep taking tools I needed to work on my pumpkin. We did our best to share, but it was not ideal at all. The crunch time came when we wanted to paint our pumpkins. Hubby went to the paint table, but it was full and Tracy told him there wasn't enough paint or containers. She gave him a dirty container and told him to go wash it off, but we didn't know where water was available either. Hubby raised his voice at this point on how this should have been prepared for us, the students who paid for the class. I looked up from my pumpkin at this point and asked Tracy, "Do we not have enough paint?" I repeated the question again, both times she did not answer. Hubby then brought up that the class was promoted as max 8 students but clearly she squeezed more in for a money grab. Tracy at this point snatched up his pumpkin, held it in her hands and said, "Fine, I can just give you a refund!" At this point, we had already driven an hour to the class and another hour or so making our pumpkins, so we were invested. Hubby backed off and apologized for his outburst. She returned his pumpkin, but would not stop jabbing him and commenting because he refused to have any further interaction with her after this. I had also apologized to her for the outburst just to keep the peace. I had to go around the paint table and ask other students to share the paint. We finally got our pumpkins painted and were told to come back in 4 weeks to collect them after they were fired. Well, we picked up our pumpkins this week and my pumpkin was super messed up. I had taken photos before we left, so you can see the before and after photos. From what I can tell, someone tried to core my pumpkin stem and did not bother putting the stem back properly and fired it as is, causing my pumpkin to collapse. I took photos and emailed Tracy. She cited "Terms and Conditions", and did not respond after I asked for a proper explanation for what actually happened to my pumpkin. We have taken lots of art classes, and this by far is the worst experience we have had with a teacher and studio. I would highly recommend to stay far, far away from this studio!

Specialized in elementary school art education, Ashley encourages kids to explore all kinds of art media. My daughter learned to use chalk, acrylic, oil color in the summer camp. Ashley is very nice too. My daughter likes her a lot. We were thrilled when Ashley told us she opened an art studio. The new studio is located in a business park, very clean and tastefully decorated. The tuition is very reasonable. $20 for Saturday morning session and $30 for the evening session. She also provide week day evening classes. If you are looking for an art teacher in the NW Greensboro area, I recommend you check out Ashley's studio first.

I think it was about $10/person, but the canvases can get pretty expensive if you want a bigger size. The one we got was $65 for a medium sized canvas. But the memory and the Picasso-like painting now hanging in my living room helps justify it.
