I'm a guy with zero interest in pottery / craft. Was taken along by my wife who got it as a gift. Absolutely enjoyed myself forming clay on the turn wheel. Managed to make several items.

Has confirmed previously that my 3mo child could attend as long as she was not touching the clay. When I arrived I was told by the teacher present I should not be there multiple times as “toxic dust” would get into my babies lungs, and had to leave 5 minutes in. I did not get to participate at all, and was then told I would not recieve a refund (I did not use any resources or teachers time) Very poor, cold service and would not recommend this experience.

Brought our kids for a summer class, they had a BLAST. The teachers are so lovely and children friendly. They were very careful in choosing language and teaching styles that were engaging and warm. We are so happy we came back just for a date night adults only. Deff a place to come for a fun, calm and relaxing experience.

This place is great. All of the instructors are very professional and kind. We have been there multiples times, in different kind of classes and every time has been great. Its a welcoming and warm enviroment, where we learnt so much about clay. Teachers were helpful, we had fun and were able to make beautiful things for our home!
