Terrible experience here. This studio cares more about profit than anything else, and from the 1st class on the instructor (Anthony) kept urging everyone to "upgrade". Today I got soaking wet because another student messed up and dumped a WHOLE bucket of mud water onto my back - my hair, back and hip were all wet from the splash. Guess what? No solution offered, I had to even ask where's the restroom. AND I had to argue to get the instructor to agree to let me come early next class to catch up on the progress. The two lady assistant instructors were nice and helpful though, but overall I would never come to this studio again. You also have to prep everything like towels and aprons yourself, whereas there are plenty of other places like South Bay Ceramics in MTV which have those ready for you.

Had a team building event here. 5 star experience! Our instructor Jake is super nice and helpful. The 2 hours class is absolutely fun!

We took their 2 hour spin class, this is a well constructed class. They'll help you sculpt a cup and a bowl. They provide all the materials/tools needed and also glaze the final product. We get to choose the color of the final product which will be ready in about 4 weeks.

My mom and I took a spin class in April on a lovely Saturday afternoon. The Studio is located at the heart of downtown San Jose. This is a 2-hour class and seems reasonably priced at $99 including all supplies and final glazing costs. This format is truly a great way to introduce beginners to using pottery wheel. We made 2 items using wheel each - a cup and a bowl. I am hoping to be back for other classes and learn something new such as clay building. Overall, I enjoyed my experience with Higher Fire Studio. Edit 06/02: The cup and bowl are glazed and were ready to pick up 4 weeks after the workshop. The final glazed items look incredible and professional. 5-star again to the entire process.

I recently attended a wheel pottery class at Higher Fire, and it was simply amazing! The instructor was fantastic, answering all our questions with patience and expertise. It turned out to be a wonderful stress-reliever. The instructor's guidance was top-notch. They demonstrated each step clearly and helped us individually. They made sure we understood the techniques and concepts, making the learning process enjoyable and accessible. The class was well-organized, and the instructor provided helpful tips to improve our skills. The pottery wheel provided a therapeutic experience, allowing us to unwind and focus on creating beautiful pottery. It was incredibly calming and rejuvenating.
