The quick take: Had a great time in our date night class, and will be going back for more. With more details: After getting curious about pottery, my wife and I started looking for art studios in the area and happily found that Summer Studios had different class options. We stopped in and David was very helpful and friendly. We decided to do a date night class as a way to check it out and see if we liked it. Sokkit (the dog) very politely welcomed us on the night, and then David got into telling us about the process. He methodically stepped through the process and explained why you do the different steps and gave great descriptions of how to do them. Then came our time to play with the mud... err... clay and throw our own pots. David was there to help us work through the steps and help us when we ran into some rookie concerns. It was a very welcoming and safe space to learn, and he made it a great date night activity. For our class, we got to make 3 different pots each. For the date night classes, David does the trimming, firing, and glazing, and then we get to go pick up the finished pots. I'm looking forward to seeing how they look after they get glazed & fired. We enjoyed it so much we are looking at doing one of the 4 or 6 week classes in the coming months.
