This review is only for the adorable little shop they have in the front of the studio. While I am a…read moresucker for beautiful pottery, I am not the most talented ceramist (yet). I've stopped in a number of times, usually after I grab a coffee next door and take a peak around. It was on my last visit that I finally took home a few pieces and they are so beautiful, I am sure they won't be my last from here. The shop is a mix of works by several different students and even the owner. I am actually currently drinking my tea out of a mug I got here that I believe was made by the owner herself! It was a splurge gift to myself that I don't regret at all. On that trip I also picked up a beautiful bowl for my mom. It had a swirly almost scallopy rim and such a gorgeous blue glaze. And it was so affordable! This is why I pop in so frequently, there is always something new to admire or maybe even take home. Happy to have them in town to stop into and find incredible, handmade, unique pieces! And maybe eventually I will try my hand at another wheel class one day as well.

Flemington Pottery located at the Stangl Factory Building, 50 Mine St.,…read more (in the same space where Kissimmee River Pottery was previously located) is an amazing studio. It has features beginner to advanced potters would love. The studio is extremely organized and clean. There is literally a commercial air scrubber machine running in the studio. I have asthma, and I appreciate the owner's attention to safe and healthy practices in the pottery studio. The teachers are all very talented ceramic artists (their work is available to purchase in the beautiful gallery), and they are encouraging and wonderful at sharing their expertise. Open studio times are available to students Tuesday to Sunday afternoons, for 3.5-4.5 hours. I am not aware of any other studio with such generous open studio times. I love having plenty of time to glaze and not feeling rushed. It is also nice to have access to a spray booth in addition to many dipping glazes. Lastly, and most importantly, the people at the studio are friendly and warm, making the studio atmosphere relaxing and welcoming. Whether you are a beginner or a long-time potter, you will feel right at home at Flemington Pottery.

This area seems to be building back up and I really hope it is!! There is so much opportunity here for a place that is great for day trips. The event I attended this past time was a Mommy and Me painting event. I took my 6 year old and we had a good time. The instructions were easy enough for him to follow and there was a basic outline that helped us paint in the right areas. After painting the kids were able to stuff their own penguin plushie which they really enjoyed! As we finished up the plushies, the cotton candy machine came out which all the kids were super excited about. The cotton candy was bigger than their heads and everyone got a real kick out of it. It was a really well executed event and we had a lot of fun. It was a nice way of getting out and avoiding screens on his day off from school.

I went with girlfriends & family for part of my cousin's bachelorette party. We had a BLAST! We brought some wine & snacks, and had the best time. Eileen was great to work with to set up the night - and very accommodating. The people that help run/teach the class were awesome - Lucy was so much fun! We are still talking about what a fun night it was. It was more about getting together and doing something different rather than painting something to bring home and hang. Will be back! Thank you for a great experience!

My daughter recently attended a birthday party here where the goal was to make a blanket made of…read moreyarn--great party favor, right! The only issue was that it didn't seem as though enough time was given for 9/10 year olds to successfully complete the task within 2 hours... that also included pizza and birthday cake time... and you know, just having fun! I believe some of the children's attention span wandered... and it was absolutely freezing in there... that didn't help the overall experience on a very cold, raw, rainy January day. Some pros were that there was plenty of parking in front on a Sunday. The assistant, Adrianna, was a very pleasant, helpful gem.. and the blankets (those that were finished) came out really cute and soft. Great idea, a little rusty in the execution.

There is a strategy where you need to use your thought to grip the tray, hinge at the hips and movement should only take place from your elbows to your finger tips.

They have one day classes and longer-term workshops that cater to beginners, and those who have been doing art all of their lives. All you have to do is come in with your imagination.

I highly recommend their handmade earrings.
