I called My Urban Workshop expecting another no. But instead, Greg agreed to take a look first and see how he could help. He did and he didn't charge me for it. Thank you so much for your helping mindset...I am truly grateful. Next time, I would definitely come back for the right projects.

This business makes custom wood furniture, but also has courses on woodworking and allows you to make use of their extensive selection of power and hand tools by purchasing block of time. e.g. 10 hours of time in the workshop for $150. You are required to take a training course for each of the power tools before you can use them, and the cost is $20 per course. I've taken several and found every course to be helpful, both int terms of learning how to use the tools safely but also to get a sense of the best ways to use them. There is even a laser cutter which can be used for project such as engraving . 16+ for hand tools and 18+ for power tools. I took one course on making a wooden cutting board and would highly recommend their courses for anyone that wants to give woodworking a try They are within about two minutes walk of a specialty lumber store called KJP Select Hardwoods which is quite convenient.

I have yet to buy something from this shop but everything is hand made and is one of a kind. I have…read morehowever, taken their pottery classes and workshops. The first time I came here was for a Friday Spin the Wheel Workshop last summer. I enjoyed my experience so much I was inspired to try a set of 4-weeks beginner wheel spinning classes. I've since done another 4-weeks beginner wheel spinning classes followed by another 6-weeks beginner. I have signed up to improve my pottery skill by signing up for a 6-weeks beginner 2 class. I've also convinced my significant other to join me for a romantic hand building mug workshop for Valentine's Day. I highly recommend the one night spin the wheel workshops. They offer them Friday nights and Saturday nights and are around $65. This will give you a small taste of what it's like to make something on the wheel. It is harder than it looks and you might not make what you wanted but it's such a rewarding experience. You end up leaving with a little pot you've created. I love that this pottery shop offered Valentine's Day workshops. The workshop was all hand building so it did not require the use of a wheel. It was definitely a lot cleaner haha. The price included wine for the night and we each got to leave with our own handcrafted mug. With the workshops, you do not learn much about glazing so you get to choose what your end colour of your pieces or mugs are and the technicians glaze/colour them for you. My significant other is very proud of his mud and although he isn't an artsy type of guy, he really enjoyed himself. The 4 or 6-week classes teach you the essential skills for pottery. You learn about the clay, how to prep the clay, how to make and shape the bowls and cups, and how to glaze your pieces. The 4-week classes (~$200) are offered in the summer and the 6-week classes (~$300) are offered all year round. In both sets of classes, you end up making around 7 pieces. The only difference is that with the 6-week classes, you spend 4 days building your pieces whereas you only have 2 days to build in the 4-week classes. The facility is clean and the staff are very friendly. The instructors are very patient and helpful. I highly recommend at least trying the workshops. They become very addicting. Pottery requires lots and lots of practice. It took about a couple of sets of classes before I became comfortable. By the third set of classes, I was able to make larger pieces which makes me comfortable to move onto the beginner 2 classes.

We are so happy with our new large, white bowl with blue design that reminds us of ocean grasses…read more It completes a set that we use happily every day. Taking classes in clay at Hintonburg Pottery is one of the most creative activities that we can think of. The instructors, in both hand building and using the wheel, were very helpful, but allowed us to work our own spirit into our creations. Thank you for a great experience. We look forward to that grand day when Hintonburg Pottery re-opens. Bernadette and Richard

It was…read moreperfect timing, as we were on the lookout for entertaining kid's activities during this year's Christmas holidays. This is a small but stupendous local business. Located in a quiet home studio in Findlay Creek, MasterZ Studio offers art classes all year round. It is a small business that excels in providing a friendly and safe environment for kids to learn new skills while building their confidence in drawing, painting, sketch, watercolour, crafts, etc. Wei Zheng, an artist and teacher, freelance Illustrator, Graphic Designer, provides superior client service. Our three children thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas themed arts & craft class. The art class was professional, well organized and presented in a fun manner. There was an abundance of supplies, in a meticulously clean studio - my wife was worried about the carnage my kids might have left in her pristine house. Our children were definitely art inspired through a variety of media. The value for the dollar was exceptional. MasterZ Studio offers arts & craft classes & camps during: - PD days - March Break - Summer Camp MasterZ Studios also has creative and special arts & craft birthday party offerings for kids. While it is a home based business, it is very clean and professional. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this relatively new & upcoming small business. 18/30 - Yelp Ottawa's 30 Day Challenge!!
