I loved this place! I came with my boyfriend as a date night and everything was so clean and everyone was so nice i definitely recommend for date night. read more

I usually love this place. It's the only spot to have studio time within a 30 mile radius, but I feel like I got robbed today. I almost cried paying for my studio time today. I previously went in and made cups with my bestie. We happily paid for our studio time because it made sense and we were grateful to be able to use all the supplies! I went back today to glaze and got charged for another 3 hours. This didn't make sense to me because I have gone in and painted the pre-made ceramics for hours before and have only been charged one flat fee. I did the equivalent of what someone painting a pre-made piece would have done. Just to make this extra clear, if I were to grab a pre-made plate and paint it for 3 hours, I would NOT be charged an additional $40 for how long it took me. I really love this place and would really like this wrong to be made right. I'd be happy to change my review with this issue addressed. The employees are all great and tried to explain the studio time to me, but they just weren't understanding the comparison I was making to people walking in and grabbing something off the shelves. They have no power with price changes so I do NOT blame them at all. I'd love to talk about this further if it's needed! :)) Update: So sad that I haven't been reached out to yet. My best friend went to collect the mugs today (she lives closer to the store) and they mentioned my review and attempted to give a "the price is the price" kind of attitude. It's really confusing how there is zero understanding of the fact that I got overcharged for ONLY painting. If someone grabbed something off the shelves and painted for 5 hours they would NOT be charged what I got charged. How hard is that to understand? I am an artist and I can understand pricing, but this makes no sense. I have spoken to so many people about this and they all agree that the charge was NOT FAIR. I've ended every conversation by saying "I really hope they reach out to me because it's so unfortunate this has happened and maybe it's just something someone has never done before so they will adjust it." But NOPE! Nothing! Please stop acting confused and admit that you don't care about pricing properly. I ONLY PAINTED! But since I made the mug myself (and happily paid for that studio time), I now have to pay for each individual hour of painting. How does that make any sense? I'll be happy to have all of my family and friends write a review. read more

Purchased a Date Night class thinking it'd be a fun thing to do with my girlfriend. I was expecting some set items to make and having the instructor go over basic techniques and guide us in making said items but that didn't happen. The instructor barely spoke to us and provided little to no guidance, was too busy chatting with the other date night couples about personal stuff, and extremely engrossed in making her own pottery. The first part was us "making what you want" as she made her own pottery and provided zero technique guidance. The other part was a little better in that she finally got up to help us but when my clay kept collapsing, there wasn't an explanation of why or what I was doing wrong or the offer to get more clay - she turned it into a small plate for me and that was it. My experience was over. Tickets were advertised as 2-hour classes but it's really only 1.5 as the last half hour was spent cleaning/washing up everything used while she resumed making her own pottery. If this part was advertised on the date night description, that's fine, but it wasn't and for what was paid, I expected more instruction and less janitorial work. Also took more than 3 weeks to get our pottery but this was after I did contact them for updates twice. Based off our experience, I would not recommend if you have zero experience (like we were) with pottery. read more

Great place, nice class setup and very friendly staff that makes it easy to get to learn and have fun

I've been reluctant to leave a review here. I did a birthday reservation and they were very accommodating. The sucky part everything we made literally had a crack in it or there was a weird stamp somehow. The worst part is that we put our names on pieces of paper and they didn't even try to spell it correctly. Now we are stuck with things with cracked with misspelled names on them. read more

My kids have been taking classes here and now my daughter volunteers here. She bought a 2 hour pottery session with her volunteer hours (sniff tear sniff) for my birthday. We had a blast. Summer, our instructor was fantastic, welcoming, patient, and knew how to demonstrate and teach. We had a great time and I am looking forward to how my creations look once glazed and fired. You can also paint pottery pieces here. If you have any creativeness or maybe even if you don't, Temecula Clay is a fantastic place to hang out with your loved ones or friends. read more

I had the private throwing class. Summer, my teacher was patient and adept. I loved the experience.! I will definitely return!

Last Saturday night I was taken to a couples date night experience at Temecula Clay, Pottery and Art Studio located in Vail Headquarters, a quaint little village like area just off the Temecula Parkway. For the sum of $95 per couple, we took a deep dive into the world of pottery and free-hand clay molding for three hours. The class was led by a young lady named Summer. A truly delightful, knowledgeable, and extremely gifted artist, with a knack for passing-on her level of skill to the average person desiring to create something they will cherish for years to come. The first portion of the class involved familiarization with the tools, and procedures, followed by rules of etiquette and safety. Once that was out of the way, we donned aprons, received are two pounds of clay and were spinning our wheels as our hands massaged the clay. Upon completion of bowls, or cups, or vases, we labeled them, selected a glaze color and placed them on the shelf for firing in the kiln at a later date. The second portion of the class involved freehand work with class to create some of your choice, choose a glaze color, and leave for firing. The class was very therapeutic as well as educational due to the instructors encouragement, the mellow music in the background and serenity of the art studio on a Saturday evening. We will be contacted approximately two weeks later to retrieve our masterpieces from this extremely wonderful and alternative way to spend a date night with someone special. Highly recommend. Thank you Summer "Sensei" for a great time! read more

Great place!!! I recommend! they were very welcoming and the teacher was a 10 out of 10, she helped every customer helping shape and was very hands on showing her knowledge for clay sculptures.

The experience of painting the ceramics was a fun bonding activity for two teenage besties. The following weekend (7 days later), we returned to pick-up the two pieces, and only one was ready, so we have to return a second time to pick-up the second piece. A suggestion for customers is to call and check if your pieces are ready because they don't keep pieces that were painted at the same time together like you would expect since it's under the same order. You'll just be disappointed and inconvenienced read more

Temecula Clay is great! Definitely come by if you're interested in having a fun night out and learning a new skill. No prior knowledge of pottery required at all, and it's a judgement FREE zone-- a perfect learning environment with positive energy My friend and I took the beginner pottery class, and our instructor, SUMMER , was absolutely incredible! She was so kind, patient, and was always willing to help every step of the way, even when there were some pretty significant mess ups on my part . But alas, the pieces came out lovely thanks to our instructor 100% recommend going! And def book a class with Summer if you can, she's awesome read more
