    We were there today to pick up pieces that we had glazed the sat before for my roommates birthday…read more Three of us chose one piece each, a fox and a dolphin figurine and I chose an owl box that I now have sitting on my bedside table that I will keep Jewelry in because our cats LOVE my jewelry. Moonstones and Malachite pieces most of all. But now they can't get to it. The place was warm and inviting. Prices were a little steep for some things but considering all glazes and the firing are factored into the prices. I will be going back with the same friends +1 later this month in order to paint more. The ladies running this were very helpful selecting pieces and glazing them as well. Prices range from $5 to $60. I believe. I have thoughts of choosing a single mug and pot that could sit with my Altar items. I also want to do a triple Goddess trivet too. If I can make any suggestions, it would be, since their greenware comes from China... If they got ANY Anime figurines and such would be super great. For example: Totoro, Catbus, No Face, Raddish Spirit these from Studio Ghibli films. From Bed and Breakfast for Spirits: Ginji the 9 tailed fox, Master Inn-keeper, Japanese temples. They do have a nice selection of Star Wars pieces too. Including the Mandalorian. Fantasy characters like faeries and dragons and faery houses too. I just think they are missing out there because if they could get anything from any Studio Ghibli films, Bed & Breakfast for Spirits, Flying Witch, "Zodiac characters" from Fruits Basket series, and so much more we would come at least twice a week to paint/glaze pieces. Last note, if you go in during your birthday you can glaze a piece of cake plate for free.

    My niece & I had a fantastic time!! We also get beautiful pieces of are for mementos.read more

    I've been taking handbuilding pottery classes at another space in town but I wanted to try out…read morewheel throwing before committing to a full semester. My hand/eye coordination is not great (which is why I tend to gravitate towards sculpture and more controlled building) but wheel throwing is such an amazing artform I wanted to give it a shot, but I knew if I didn't enjoy it right off the bat that I didn't want to be stuck for weeks doing it. Luckily, Yourist offers a "try it out" wheel throwing session once a month and I was able to sign up for the May session along with my husband, cousin, and aunt. It was so fun to do this experience together with my family and I surprisingly took to the wheel pretty easily. During this session you're given a tutorial on the equipment then a demo with explanation of how to throw your own bowl, including posture, hand positioning, and tips for success. Then you're given three balls of wedged clay and are let loose to practice on your own as they instructors work the room to help you if you're struggling and cheer you on if you're doing well. You're then welcome to keep any three of the bowls you make and they'll fire and glaze them (based on your choice of glaze for each piece) for you for pick up a month later. First piece is $10 with every additional piece $5. I'm proud to say that I made 2 very nice bowls and one bowl that turned into more of a sake cup after I got too ambitious and the top of my bowl collapsed. But they all looked nice in their own way so I decided to keep all three. The glazes they have are really lovely, too, and make any piece, no matter how wonky (like my sad sake cup) look beautiful. I also found I loved the experience so much that for my next class I signed up for a hybrid wheel throwing and handbuilding class so I could get better at both. I also really enjoyed my time at this studio and have bookmarked several classes I'd like to take there in the future, including day workshops focused on specific topics. Once I feel confident enough in my foundational education I hope to also join the community workspace where, for a monthly fee, you have access to their studio to work independently. It's such a welcoming environment, I highly recommend checking it out!

    This is a cool little studio. I was actually just stopping in at the convenience store that's in…read morethe same little strip mall and thought I'd stop in to see what Yourist was about. They have a tiny one-room gallery, but it's full of nifty pottery. Some of the items are mostly decorative, but the display also included useful items, like an olive oil/garlic plate, a soap holder, mugs and so on. There were many items for sale under $20 and even several under $10, and this would be a good place to pick up unique gift items for the artsy friend on your Christmas list. The other half of the Yourist building is a studio/art school. They offer classes for beginners and more advanced students, ranging from a beginner's class in throwing pottery on the wheel to a class in learning to glaze and paint the pottery you've already created. In addition to several classes for adults, they offer after-school kids clay classes as well, at pretty reasonable rates.
