Had the absolute best first time learning pottery!!! Something I have been coveting and meaning to…read moretry Judi was an amazing instructor and we booked a group lesson for 8 individuals. Everyone got as individualized attention as humanly possible and learning pottery on the wheel was way more intricate than anyone could have guessed. The best part was the way in which Judi walked us through centering and coning in order to keep our pieces still spinning together! Colors were picked towards the end and we were all able to add stamps or indentations as well. There was (still might be) discounts for 2 hour lessons with big groups at a set rate so check it out if you and a group want to make something! Not to mention, some of Judi's pottery was available for sale! Got the last two for a few dollars each and super satisfied!

With gorgeous views of the river, much wildlife can be seen from every window (we saw foxes, eagles, and lots of other animals). Each participant has their own table to work at; no crowding, with plenty of room for all your gear. The hosts are truly wonderful- very welcoming and accommodating. Don't worry if you forgot to bring something, they have spares to loan. Lunch on the patio overlooking the river each day during the workshop is a special treat. I will continue to come back every year!

This allowed me to greatly focus in class, absorbing all the information provided from lectures to well-made and condensed notes that prepared me excellently for my national certification. The practice we did was both on dummies, and on each other. At first, I was fearful of the second part, but the instructor always kept a close watch, and I never felt that I was in danger of those who trained with me. Overall, the class was concise, and prepared me excellently, while being enjoyable too. Perfection.

What a fun experience!…read more We took a 2 hour lesson with Adam and learned how to make a bowl. We got 3 tutorials, as many tries with clay balls as we needed and he came around often and was eager to help and super informative. Only thing is he made it look so easy look which it isn't ;) It was a great intro to pottery and the cost to fire and keep anything you made was reasonable at $10 per piece. The class was $55. Would def recommend!

I was so impressed with Art Centro Ceramics! I went here for the first time today and had so much…read morefun. I decided to get a private beginner ceramics lesson for my mom and I as something fun to do. The private lessons and classes are really affordable! The staff was very quick responding to all inquiries and questions before my class. Our teacher Alexis was so helpful and friendly. She first did a demonstration and then walked us through all of the steps. In our 1 hour private lesson we really learned a lot about the basics. Starting from scratch you definitely won't be able to make any masterpiece in just an hour class. At the end of the class you can recycle your clay, have your creation fired with a glaze for a little bit extra, or come back for another class to glaze it yourself. They have open studio for very low rates an hour, you can use their clay and wheels. There definitely seems to be a community of artists who use this space. But even as a beginner I felt very welcome here. My mom and I are both excited to go back! I would highly recommend this place.

But they have some nice Fender electric guitars (not a fan of Fender acoustics, though) and some of the Fender Squiers are nice, too. Looks like they're phasing out keyboards or maybe it's routine to only have two or three on hand. Extremely helpful and friendly service.
