Though there was a schedule that listed Matiz class 9:45 am to 10:45 am on Saturdays, there was no information regarding start and end date, so I was under the impression it was on a rolling admission, or that I would receive an email with directions. I did not receive an email with instructions, thus I emailed Art Hub Academy asking whether or not I should show up the next day (Saturday) for the class. Jose Luis emailed me back and let me know that all classes start at the beginning of the month, however he was super accommodating and allowed my son to come in the next day, all due to MY confusion! I apologized for the inconvenience and thanked him for his flexibility and for being so thoughtful. We showed up to the class the next morning, and Ms. Vivian was there. I am extremely impressed with how patient she is. She provided an all inclusive classroom environment that made my son feel comfortable. So much so, that he asked if I could leave because all of the other parents were not present. Usually he does not like to be alone in new environments until he warms up, but he wanted to be alone within 10 minutes of the class! The children were already working on a clay project from the week prior, and Ms. Vivian accommodated all of the children. I watched her navigate the class professionally with an enthusiastic attitude and friendly demeanor. She was well organized and made sure to give every child attention, as well as one-on-one attention. She explained tasks well to the children, and encouraged the children to socialize. She was gentle yet firm in her teaching approach. I got the vibe that Ms. Vivian loves what she does and it truly shows through her actions. When the class was over, I walked back in to pick my child up. I asked her how my child did. It went well, he enjoyed it all while having fun and learning art concepts. I was surprised at how attentive she proved to be. In addition to telling me how the class went, she picked up on things that I was already aware of, but did not expect others to pick up on during a one hour class. For example, she picked up on the fact that my son needs a lot of hands-on instruction and repetition. She even went as far as to ask how she could better help my son. Words can not explain how good Ms. Vivian's attention to detail made me feel as a parent. I am truly appreciative of the professional and patient demeanor exhibited by this facility. I am really happy with the choice I made to bring my child here. My son would not stop talking about how fun the class was, and walking me through the process of "wiring" for his clay model. It has only been one class and I can see the impact that this establishment has made on my child's self-confidence. The developmental gains that my son (and I'm sure other children) are making from this establishment are substantial. Thank you for the love and confidence that you pour into our children, Art Hub Academy!

The setup was pretty great to accommodate our group size very easily. We got instructions about the steps to make our bowl and a demo, but I along with others definitely found it hard to keep up. We needed a lot of individual help. I wish there was an assistant who could walk around and help us too. The studio glazed and painted the bowls to a color we liked. They looked great! I only wish we were able to be more hands on in the process and perhaps make two items as the process is quite hard if you're new and it would have been fun to take another stab at it.

My child has been taking regular weekday and weekend classes for years, as well as summer camps over the past few years. He truly enjoys the art offerings, especially the creative classes, sketch classes, and summer animation camps. Mr. Fang holds a PhD in art from a very prestigious school, so the level of instruction is very in-depth. Critique time for older students is often at a college level. They always hold critiques at the end of class, and parents are welcome to join and learn more about their child's work. Ms. Emma is also an incredible teacher whose patience and enthusiasm make the classes fun and enjoyable. We look forward to having our child take more classes with them in the coming years!

Mr. Fang and Ms. Emma are both very passionate about art and offer a wide variety of classes, ranging from technical skills to creative development. While the studio can be somewhat serious--especially when it comes to encouraging students to participate in art competitions and preparing portfolios--it truly helps students work harder and push themselves to reach their full potential.

My daughter looks forward to every class, and we've seen clear improvement in both her skills and creative thinking. Highly recommend this class and Cal Color institute.

All proceeds support Montalvo Arts Center with the aid of a battalion of volunteers, young and old. From the first hello by Gail when greeted at check-in to exiting venue, high touch experience.

Can upgrade to wine and bubbly for a fee. There were roaming models (Sunny - a Tita from the Philippines - was in our area) showcasing outfits from a local Los Gatos boutique. Raffle for a 10 person dinner onsite. Gift shop with crafts to buy. Have more time can explore grounds. Was encouraged to take home the floral centerpieces which had plastic floral bags to aid with transport. If don't have a generous friend to treat you to luncheon, can purchase tix for $75. I was excited to learn they host Sunday high teas in November before Thanksgiving. Will add to my Yelp! High Tea collection.

I love it because I can go in anytime during the member hours to practice throwing. It's brand new and it is really clean, organized, and overall well maintained - something that you don't find often in pottery studios. The ambiance is very calming which is perfect for throwing in my opinion! There's lots of natural sunlight, airy, and beautiful plants. Basics: -23 wheels (12 member only) -16 glazes -multiple clay options (including b mix, speckled buff, porcelain) -2 kilns -member shelving 18"x 36"x12" Aside from membership, they also offer classes for beginners, intermediate, and hand building. It looks like they will be hosting a few workshops for specialty techniques which will be super cool! I am definitely signing up for those. Highly recommend you come try out Common Clay! I've tried different studios in the Bay Area and I would say this is my personal favorite. I appreciate how much the studio puts into maintaining a nice environment for their members and students. The staff are always really friendly and willing to help you find whatever you need answers to. I think I've found my permanent home studio

It's also great that they gave us an option (free) to make a second/non-decorative candle, because they know it's unlikely we'd want to light up our flower candle. We spent longer than the 90 min we were allotted for the workshop, but we weren't pressured to leave or speed up.
