I took my first ever pottery (10-wk wheel throwing) class with Darah in the Fall, and all I can say is that I’ve fallen head-over-heels in love with pottery and with this studio. I just started another 10-wk class, this time with Lela, and I’m so excited. My plan is to take classes from all of the instructors, finances permitting, and to become a monthly member. All of the people I’ve met, including staff and instructors, are so kind and supportive. I feel incredibly grateful to have found this place, and I can’t recommend it enough.
I took wheel throwing with Alyssa and it was such a good experience! Alyssa is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and encouraging, and the staff in general are extremely friendly and helpful. I went in with zero clay or wheel throwing experience and came out with a bunch of cute mugs, cups, and bowls. One of my favorite parts was the mixed levels of experience in my class. Several of the other students have years of experience, and it was always fun to see their creative process and skills. Highly highly recommend Radius.
Radius Art Studio is an incredibly supportive and welcoming space, and Kiki is a standout instructor. I took two hand-building classes with her with no ceramics experience beyond high school, and she made the learning process fun, approachable, and confidence-building. Kiki is excellent at teaching adults at different skill levels—she’s encouraging, patient, and truly invested in helping everyone do their best work. Radius also has unmatched open studio amenities, and the staff are knowledgeable and always willing to help. I’m looking forward to becoming a community member someday. Highly recommend, especially if you can take a class with Kiki!
I've taken a handful of classes and workshops at Radius and, despite being practically brand new to ceramics, throughout each session I felt fully engaged, encouraged, and creatively empowered. All the knowledge and support I've received from instructors (shout out to Lela's wheel throwing class!!) as well as other studio members and fellow students during my short time at this studio enabled me to create beautiful pieces of art and deepen my understanding and appreciation for the medium! If you're looking for a supportive and fun place to get your hands dirty, learn something new or expand your craft, Radius is the place!
LOVE this place!!! It seems like as one of the original community ceramics studio’s they have their systems down and have the best instructors in town. Their classes are incredible and they offer a good variation for all levels. We have enjoyed a one-time wheel for date night as well as a few special workshops on weekends. Great gifts for friends up front and highly encourage signing up for skill building classes. It’s amazing to see everyone’s progress even after a few weeks!
