This is a large, airy studio with a warm and helpful crew. I signed up for a studio membership and am really thrilled to have found it. The owners are thoughtful and helpful. The studio is well equipped with clay (red and white), tools, and glazes. I have a shelf for on-going projects. It is spotlessly clean unlike so many dusty pottery studios. The turn around time for firing is much faster than many other studios. I highly recommend. read more

Attended an event at the studio on Tuesday and it was amazing. The owners are wonderful, and I'm looking forward to returning for a class. This was my very first clay experience so try not to laugh too hard at my cup/bowl or and it was not intimidating. It was fun and definitely support this young small business. Looking forward to a glaze class. Updated review yesterday. I attended my first Wheel class and take a look. It was so successful. Ashley was my instructor. She's amazing run don't walk to your first class make your appointment. read more

My friend and I came back to glaze our pieces. It was so much fun! It was very relaxing to paint our pieces. I forgot that it's BYOB spot, but we didn't need it cause we enjoyed our time there while being sober. Ashley was there to help us, and was very polite, friendly, and patient. I asked a bunch of questions and she answered them without me feeling like I was being judged would definitely come back here again and bring a bottle, but still have to come back to get our pieces. read more

I'll preface this review by saying: I didn't take pictures, I went for a yelp event, and I've never taken pottery classes before. I had such a wonderful time at this studio. The pottery instructor definitely has the heart of a teacher and you can tell it's something she is passionate about. Making pottery: (5/5) I had never used a wheel to make any sort of pottery before. I found it tremendously therapeutic and this place had all the resources necessary for me to do it successfully. Atmosphere: (5/5) it gives me artsy neighbor vibes. I don't know about you, but I had a very artsy friend growing up and she had this workspace in her house dedicated to making crafts. I found this place very homey and comfortable. Service (I don't know what else to call it): (5/5) again the pottery instructor was so kind and communicative. I felt comfortable making pottery even though I've never done it before. She made the experience. Because of my experience here, I really want to get into making pottery. The only problem is, I don't have space to store it. Maybe I make the pottery and give it away? Idk. Regardless, check out Silica Studios today! read more

This place is sooo dope. Didn't realize walking in it was a queer poc women owned studio but that just made it even better. The space is super cool and has the most amazing vibe. Kinda feels like you are just chillin at a friends house. Rachel (ranch) so super dope and helpful even though I had literally no clue what I was doing. This place couldnt get better if it tried. I'm so happy I stumbled upon them and can't wait to check out so of their amazing events. the owners are clearly out here trying to build a community for all us queer weirdos out there and I couldn't love it more. give them your money, they deserve it. read more

My dear friend attended a class at Silica suggesting I also take a class and I did. I cannot convey how I felt. Every aspect lived up to my soul. My instructor, a natural born teacher gave clear instructions. If I am not mistaken, instructor's name is Ashley (spelling). I absolutely without a doubt fell in deep love with creating beauty with clay. read more

Silica Studio 845 - My first two creations. - Art Classes Near Me - Beacon, New York

My girlfriend was excited to bring me here for my birthday during a multi day road trip. She reserved a private time for us on Monday and received a confirmation email and a reconfirmation email. This was the last day of our trip and my gf was looking forward to doing this because I am not an artist and she is so wanted to have me experience this with her. At our scheduled time, the doors to the studio were locked and no one was inside. She called and got the owner, Dani, who said she don't have the rsvp, then said she would be right over. Strangely, she was already parked right outside the studio and says she happened to be there when she stepped out of the car, yet she said she would be right over? She was just sitting in her car all that time watching us or sleeping? We showed her the rsvp emails and she says initially that she didn't get it. Then she finds it and says it's for four (4) people. We confirmed it was for us two since our email says $120 which is $60x2. But the important part is she did have the rsvp info for our time. She asks if we can wait a few mins because she had to be at a meeting in 30 mins. We agreed. Then she came back asking if we can come back another time which we couldn't because we had dinner reservations later and I it was the end of our stay here. She said she would move her meeting time, but came back and said she couldn't do it anymore. No apology or offer to make it right. read more
