Decent selection of supplies and glazes, but the owner is condescending and rude, especially to hobby potters, as evidenced by his response to the one negative review below. I'll continue to buy my supplies here, because, as I said, the selection is decent, but I'll never take a class here because I'm made to feel inferior every time I walk in the door.
There is the most amazing sculptor housing her work there. DL Williams!!! Incredible work!
Great place to pick uP pottery supplies and a gift from their shop.
So helpful and knowledgeable. Would love to take classes there if I lived closer!!
Tried a wheel throwing class and absolutely loved it!
I have been there over a year and I'm sure I'll be there in three more! It's a wonderfully relaxing, creative, fun environment filled with incredibly talented people. You will find great mentors, new friends and you'll never want to leave. The time flies by!
This is an amazing studio and gallery. They sell numerous handmade items including pottery, wood, jewelry and crocheted pieces in their gallery. The staff is awesome and friendly. You can take lessons for throwing pottery or hand building. The cost is reasonable and the hours accommodate most everybody. This is a great place for kids to learn crafts and explore their inner selves. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to throw clay, hand build pottery and pass the time in a fun environment.
Oh my GOSH!!!! WE HAD SUCH AN AMAZING TIME HERE!!! Vinnie was our instructor for pottery and she is not only a master at pottery but has the patience of a Saint. I took my daughter here for part of her sweet 16 bday weekend and we took the trial pottery wheel throwing class. The price was definitely cheap to form 2-3 pieces if pottery. We watched her make a piece and then made our own with her step by step guidance. When we messed up she came over and immediately guided us back. We picked our glaze colors and then did a clean up of our stations. She even took pictures of us to capture the experience. We will be going back for the full classes.
About a year ago I took my pottery to this gallery to be sold. The owner called me a few months later and told me a mug of mine had sold and he would send the check. I never received the check. Recently he left me a voicemail and asked me to come pick up my work. I went to pick it up and not all of it was was there. I had a record of what I had given him, 9 pieces, and he gave me back 5. He was very rude. He said he probably sold it on discount, which was never an option he told me about. Even if it was, shouldn't that mean I should get some of the money for my work? Maybe he just lost track of my pieces and the money, I understand that, but he should take responsibility for being a terrible business man. I would not recommend selling at this gallery, buying supplies from them, or taking lessons from them.
