Use of the hands helps keep the muscles toned and strong when shaping the clay. Samantha Is the instructor/teacher. She has the patience of Job when it comes to teaching. It's 2 levels with the kiln downstairs. Monthly membership is available to those who want to spend more time creating and making their pottery. Love it.

He helped us make our completely different styles and....it was just super cool. If you're getting married and want cool, unique rings you gotta go here!

We signed up for a two-day workshop to craft two rings, a wedding band for myself and a silver ring…read morefor my fiance. We worked with Emma, and it was an absolute blast! She was so helpful and kind, and it was an overall such an engaging experience. We got to do every step of the process, and Emma stepped in whenever either one of us needed help. She even helped us get my fiance's fingerprint imprinted on the inside of my ring, which was a very cool touch. We're so happy with the end result, and I can't wait for the wedding so I can wear my ring!

I had a very mixed experience here, largely depending on the instructor…read more The introductory class instructor was excellent--supportive, encouraging, and made the environment feel welcoming for beginners. Based on that, I signed up for the full wheel program. However, the instructor for the wheel program was very different, and unfortunately that's where the experience broke down. The teaching style felt condescending at times, and feedback was sometimes given publicly in a way that felt more shaming than constructive. As a beginner, this made it difficult to feel comfortable experimenting or learning. There were also moments during class where comments felt overly personal or inappropriate, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere. I later spoke with another student who felt similarly discouraged, so this didn't seem like an isolated experience. Overall, I think the studio has potential and some great instructors, but the inconsistency in teaching style made it hard to continue.

Sip & Paint? Sign me up! I'd only done it once before but loved it nonetheless…read more Honey Art Studio was hosting Juneteenth Paint Nights w/Soul Food. The event was catered by We Feast SF. The menu consisted of blackened salmon, red beans & rice, collard greens, yams, cornbread, macNcheese & nacho peach cobbler for dessert. The meal was absolutely delicious! I should've bought a plate to go! Everything was cooked & seasoned perfectly. I don't eat everyone's macNcheese & can count on one hand the number of times I've tried yams. Chef Erin really did her thing! Coco was the artist guiding us & directing our strokes & color blending. I loved that she emphasized that there's no wrong in creation & not to be critical of ourselves, just breathe & paint! Everyone had a great time. Erica, the host and owner of The Honey Art studio was as sweet as she could be. She hosts a lot of events & I plan to participate & even work w/her on a lil something. Highly recommended...

My fiancé and I signed up for the wedding band workshop and couldn't be happier! We had no idea…read morewhat to expect and were nervous that we wouldn't be capable of producing the designs we had brainstormed. Our wonderful instructor Eddie was an amazing resource. He showed us how to use a broad range of tools and gave us space to experiment so that we ultimately did all the work ourselves. He made the process so fun! We are thrilled with how our rings turned out and even happier to have such great memories of the process to cherish.

Total waste of time and money…read more I booked this through Eventbrite a couple weeks ago, expecting a fun neon paint night with step-by-step instruction. none of that happened. Yujin crammed three separate events into one tiny, overly bright room, which completely ruined the vibe. The Eventbrite photo showed people painting in a dark neon-lit room. Instead, we were with two other "classes" in a setting that felt chaotic and thrown together. She gave zero instruction, even though it was clearly advertised. When we asked for help, she barely responded and gave off this weird gaslighting energy like we were bothering her. She even stepped out of the room multiple times while we were all sitting there confused. It felt like she wanted to collect money, hand out some supplies, and disappear. The only "perk" was free wine, which honestly felt like a tactic to get people drunk so they wouldn't notice how bad the experience was. It was obvious she has no interest in teaching or creating a good experience but rather just taking people's money. My husband and I would've had a better night painting at home with a canvas from Amazon (which, by the way, would've been bigger and better quality than the tiny ones she gave us). If you're reading this and thinking about booking--don't. Or do, and find out the hard way.

Expected to watch once and work on it on your own while the instructor makes their own items. Luckily my friends and I did research before the class and had a general idea on how to make a shape. Normal wait time to pick up pottery is 4-6 weeks. We waited 4 weeks to get ours. Steven was very friendly for pottery pick up time changes. 100% make a game plan before coming to class because time is limited and instruction is limited. Overall not bad
