    Glazing tables
    Myles H.

    Ive been coming here for about 6 months. It's good for beginners and people who make small items. Shelves are tied to memberships or classes. The shelves are too small to make a lot of items. There's no greenware drying shelves. So you're limited to making what fits on your shelf. Top shelves are $160.00 regular shelves are $120.00. The people are awesome. The teachers are knowledgeable. The tool availability is limited to classes. Paid members need to bring everything they need other than a wheel, slab roller and kilns. Classes will override memberships for wheels and clay tables. So you have to work around the class schedule. The studio fires regularly but has had some technical difficulties with the permit for gas and the bisque kiln went down recently. No dry work can be done inside the studio. Keeping dust low. The studio is cone 10 only which is awesome. No horrible melt downs because low fire clay was fired too high.

    I signed up for the 4 week wheel throwing classes with Henry as the instructor. It was great! I enjoyed it so much I signed up for Henry's 4 week hand crafting classes right after the wheel throwing sessions ended. Henry is a skilled and patient instructor, which was great for me as I needed extra help figuring out how to center my pieces on the wheel, which was step 1! Henry inspired us during classes to think about what we wanted out of our pieces and experiences in the class. I told him my goal was to make practical things I could use around the house, instead of just pretty pieces to look at. With his guidance, but with my own hands, I created and now have multiple gorgeous mugs with handles that I've been using regularly for tea and water. Thanks Henry!

    The instructor helped me to shape and made the handles for this piece

    I have been taking pottery classes for 6 months at a few different studios in Santa Ana and Costa Mesa, but I needed more one on one guidance on improving my throwing skills. I found The Pottery Studio on Instagram and I started taking their returning wheel throwing class. The class is small and the instructor Daniel is super helpful and attentive. He is very hands on and detail oriented on giving feedback. I went from pulling as high as 4/5" to 7" in 3 and classes. Just give you some perspective, the other studios often have more students, and the teacher can't really spend sufficient time with each student to address individual needs. I really feel like my skills and confidence have improved greatly. Also, this place is a great deal because you can use unlimited clay, unlimited free studio time and the teacher will offer help when ever he is available. Other studios would require an additional membership to use the studio outside of class. The studio is clean, well equipped and organized. I personally love the modern and sophisticated choice of glazes. Just for white they have 5 different choices in both matte and glossy, which suit my minimalist aesthetic. They are also a store which is great if you need extra supplies. I highly recommend this studio.

    I was looking for a new hobby and wanted to try pottery. Listening to music while drawing by myself…read morealways helps me destress, so I figured pottery would feel the same way. I came across Muddy Studio during my search and decided to give it a try. At $140 for a month--three hours a day, once a week--I thought it was a great, budget-friendly hobby to enjoy.From the very first class, our instructor, Sam, taught us pottery in great detail. Sam majored in pottery and was incredibly kind, thorough, and helpful. Now that I've finished my first month, I've decided to sign up for another month! I truly believe this place is an excellent option for anyone looking for a hobby. The studio owners are also wonderfully nice, and the atmosphere is so friendly that everyone can easily become friends.If you need some healing from your busy daily routine, you should definitely give it a try! Parking can be a bit challenging, but it's not impossible since you can just park on the street and walk over.

    I am just wrapping up my first set of classes and I signed up for next month. The adult classes are…read morevery affordable at $140 for four 3-hour sessions plus $15 for 15 lbs of clay. They offer classes MTWThFSa and morning/night times for those looking for flexibility. Heather is a great instructor and I've learned so much in the past month. I'm really looking forward to glazing and firing my pieces!
