Bitter Root Pottery Hayden Tract

What a great class with Ashley! My dad and I took the beginners mug class, and Ahley was amazing at guiding us through every step and helping us when we needed it. The space was beautiful, and the whole experience was a lot of fun.

Such a fun experience! Was super rewarding to see our fun art class culminate in a totally practical manifestation that can be used around the house. Special shout out to Paige who will go to great lengths to assist her students. 10/10 recommend her class!

Wonderful Spring Camp Experience! My 7-year-old son attended one day of the spring camp and had a fantastic time! They made a fruit bowl, and he especially loved getting to use the pottery wheel—it was such a fun and memorable experience for him. Since he was a bit nervous about being there alone, I stayed for the session, and I really appreciated how welcoming and understanding the staff were. They clearly explained each step and guided the kids so well. My son is so proud of the fruit bowl he made, and we’re both really happy with the experience.

It was my first time trying pottery and I loved it. Cory was a very patient and sweet teacher. She demonstrated everything very well and helped us make our bowls - step by step with very clear instruction. It was a group lesson but only 1 more person was there so it ended up being like a private lesson! I went on a Tuesday at 4pm. I will definitely go back for more! Also, the place is gorgeous, well designed and very clean.

My friend and I signed up for the adults beginner wheel throwing class with NO experience and had an absolute blast! FYI, make sure to slow down as you are coming up to it cause they have a tiny driveway with an even tinier black sign. We missed it the first time around, lol. We got there a little early because we were worried about parking, but there was nothing to worry about! Bitter Root has about 3-5 spots in front of their store that are specifically reserved for their clients. I would still suggest carpooling tho to make it even easier. When you enter the store, you can sign in at the counter and then someone will explain everything to you. They provide a locker for you to store your stuff in and aprons so your clothes don't get too dirty. The middle of the store (where the class is held) is so so so cute! They have a little woods theme going on with fairy lights and chandeliers. The classes are limited at 20 potter's wheel/people (+1 for the instructor) and everything is extremely clean. The extra fun part is that they also provide a tripod for you to use to record your experience! Our instructor, Megan, was the best! She was super clear with her instructions and made sure that no one fell behind. She would invite us up to her wheel and let us see how it is done and what it should look like/what mistakes look like... then she let us run off and make the mistakes ourselves, lol. She and another assistant (Adrianne who was also excellent and helpful) walked around correcting our mistakes and giving tips until everyone had a pretty good bowl to call their own! At the end, they will cut the bowl off the wheel for you and you can select the color that you want it to be. They will fire your piece for you in a couple of weeks and if it survives, then they will text you to come pick it up. At the time of writing this review, I haven't received any notification of my pot (fingers crossed tho!). Overall, an excellent experience and a super cute little girls night or date night activity! I would love to do this again! (And for any of y'all with longer nails, don't worry, they will teach you how to work around it!)

I’m a member here! Signing up for BRP was one of the best decisions I made this year! I have been suffering from anxiety and PTSD after a bad car accident. Pottery has helped me so much. This studio is gorgeous and brand new. People are super nice and helpful, and I absolutely love our clay clinic on Thursdays!! Highly recommend ❤️

Attended a company pottery event here and loved the experience. Christina was our instructor and she did a great job! Would highly recommend BRP!

Beautiful studio, and amazing instructors! I had so much fun in the class. Joan was so good at explaining how to spin the wheel (and also fixing after I messed up).

Had an amazing time making little bowls here with my wife. The most expensive bowls we own, but you pay for the experience. We went on a Friday evening. It was only us and one other couple in the class so we had one instructor. She walked us through demonstrating the entire process first. Then she walked us all through one step at a time and came around to help as needed. She even gave us another piece of clay when my wife's piece fell apart. A lot of fun if you've never tried spin wheel pottery. The place is nicely decorated and is pretty relaxed quiet atmosphere. Clay and water will splatter everywhere so don't dress up. Comes out pretty easily though. They take care of glazing and stuff so you just pick a color and then go back to pick it up after a few weeks. Hope you check it out and enjoy!

Would recommend! My wife and I did the 'adult beginner wheel throwing' class at this Culver City location. They have a variety of objects to choose from, and we signed up for the ramen bowl class. The facility is large and beautifully appointed with several spaces to create pottery. My wife and I were completely new to pottery, so it was a bit intimidating when the class began. The instructor goes through the whole process in the beginning, but we couldn't hear much because of another group that was in another section. The acoustics of the place does not play well with multiple parties having conversations. However, the instructor was kind enough to answer our questions and assist with our mistakes. After you make your bowl, you get to choose different colors. You will not get your end product until several weeks. Overall, it was a great experience which is what you are paying for (not for my amateur oddly shaped bowl!).

Took my cousin who was visiting from Italy. I've taken a couple of classes elsewhere and thought the instructor was very quick & focused more on other people. Beautiful studio but just too many people in a class and it was expensive for. 2 hour class. You don't learn enough since they trim and glaze your pieces.

Went here with a group of friends and loved the experience! Our instructor was Cori who was super friendly and really good with the pottery wheel. She definitely saved our pieces from flying off. I loved being able to pick a glaze and learn how to use the pottery wheel. If it was closer I would definitely come here more often! I hope to come back soon with friends and try to make something new! I was so happy with how my bowl turned out and had fun figuring it out with friends. Great for girls night or date night!

Since my birthday is here, I decided to do something low-key and came to Bitter Root. I signed my friends and I up for the textured vase class where we would learn how to make vases. Upon arrival, the place was large, spacious and had a nice Forrest theme on the inside. Registration was quick and easy and we were given instructions on what would be next. Chante our pottery teacher, was kind and very patient. She was very knowledgeable about pottery and taught us step by step how to shape our clay. We were able to finish the class and choose from a variety of colors for our vases. It was a great experience and we will be back!!

We had an amazing time at Bitter Root Pottery with our team!! We host monthly events for our team and this time a few team members wanted to try pottery so we decided to come here! The space was so creative, cute and spacious. The team at Bitter Root Pottery made us feel so at home. They provided us name tags, aprons and of course the clay!! Our team followed along with the instructor to make an amazing bowl. It felt daunting at first but the instructor always came around to make sure we were not falling behind. They also provided us a small table for snacks and drinks which was awesome to have. Our team really enjoyed the experience as a whole and could not be more excited to pick up our bowls soon!!! We even got to pick a glaze that the Bitter Root team will do for us. As a team of art students, we felt like we were back in art school. Such a great team bonding experience for us all.

My friend and I wanted to try out a pottery class for her birthday, so we signed up for the adult beginner class which was $80/person! The reservation process online was pretty seamless and easy to do - all you have to do is choose your location (in this case the Hayden Tract location), date, and number of people! When we arrived at the studio to check, we were instructed to sign in, grab an apron, put on a name tag, and store our belongings in a locker. The space itself was a very nice open layout, and you could see areas for each part of the process! The designated class area had individual stations including an adjustable stool, pottery wheel, tools, water bowl, and a tripod for capturing your progress during the sessions (everyone in my session loved this addition!). The class began with a demonstration from the instructor outlining each step of the process we would complete to make a bowl. When we started our work as a class, the instructors made sure to answer our questions and gave us advice (or help if we had something to fix) on how to complete each step. They waited until each person had finished each step before moving on, which I appreciated because it didn't feel too rushed but also allowed for everyone to receive support and additional time to feel satisfied with each step. At the end of the session, you can decorate/shape your bowls and the instructors will use wire clay cutters to remove your bowl from the wheel. From there, you clean up your station, select a glaze, and fill out the contact information to be notified when your piece is ready! Disclaimer: I haven't picked up my piece yet, so that may definitely impact my review if I were to update it. However, I really enjoyed my time at BRP and would definitely recommend their classes to other people! They also have a sister store next door that sells pieces created in the studio :)

I came here for a pottery class with a friend a while ago. We booked their two hour Adult Beginner Wheel Throwing Class via their website. All of the instructors were really friendly and the class had a very welcoming vibe to it. Everything was explained very well and I couldn't be happier with the bowl I made! I did have to wait about five weeks to pick up my piece, but it was worth the wait. They have a few reserved parking spots right out front, but I ended up parking on the street. If you're considering a beginner wheel throwing class, I definitely recommend Bitter Root Pottery!

My first pottery class ever & I'm glad I had it at Bitter Root!! The class instructor & assistant were so informative and helpful, they made the process very enjoyable and easy to follow. When we picked up our final bowls, we were so happy with the glazing results!! They glazed our bowls perfectly and I will definitely be coming back. Thank you Bitter Root for the amazing experience!!

What a fun experience. It was our first time doing pottery and it won't be our last. We took the beginners course of the adult beginner wheel class and Cori was our instructor. She was so amazing, patient and detailed. She had a positive attitude and walked us through each step of making our bowls. I didn't realize how many steps it was to making pottery and I give props to those who do this. This is such a wonderful craft. The studio is in a great place in Culver City and it has lots of space for the parties and large classes. I was very impressed with this process, the class and the art of pottery. 10/10 experience

10/10 has to be one of my favorite things I've ever done. Christiana was so patient and kind to us. She did a great job explaining everything and reassured us when we had questions. We came on a Tuesday and the class was really small and intimate. It was so fun seeing how everyone's pot came out to be. The place has a large selection of glazes to choose from as well. I can't wait to pick up my pot!! I would highly recommend for a date night or a girls night. I will def be coming again :)

This was such a great experience! I booked an adult beginner class for a Tuesday night, it was just the instructor, another couple and I. Decided to take myself on a little solo date to learn new things and spend more time alone and meet new people. This was a 2 hour course, where we learned how to wheel throw and make our own little bowl! I forgot our instructor's name but she was absolutely amazing, sweet and patient. It was my first time wheel throwing and she was super helpful and gave so much guidance throughout the entire time. They provide you with aprons, clay, tools and even a tripod to record yourself if you'd like! No experience is needed, they literally teach you from demo, to step by step instructions. Would 10000% recommend this place for a solo date or a date with your partner as well. Super fun and relaxing as well. I've compared prices of other pottery/ceramic classes and this one is the most affordable, in addition provides an unforgettable experience! Ambiance is modern, clean and pretty trendy as well!

It was a very beautiful studio and professional staff. But I was thinking a good music or maybe a coffee stand would be nice during classes. Music was missing.

This was such a fun experience! Went in for a beginners class with no knowledge of pottery/wheel throwing etc and came out learning so much! The beginners class consisted of a 2 hour class and we ended up making a bowl. After the class is done, you're in charge of cleaning up your own station. You don't need to have any experience at all! Paige was the instructor guiding our course and she made everything so easy to follow along to. She was extremely helpful and patient with everyone and thanks to her, my bowl came out looking decent! Even if you have no experience, it's easy to follow along and the instructor will also be able to help you out, which I really appreciate! After the bowls are done, you get the option to choose your glaze and it takes several weeks to be ready for pick up. The studio is spacious and stunning! I loved everything about it. It's located in an area where there's plenty of street parking (free) too which was a plus! Overall I had an amazing time and would definitely love to come back!

I had my very first pottery class at Bitter root pottery with the amazing instructor Megan. I had such a great time! Megan was very detailed in her tutorial and was very thoughtful in her approach to teaching. She even started out by saying "give yourself some grace" which was very kind. Because it was my first class and pottery creation, I had a goal in mind to make a wider bowl/plate, and she really helped me bring that to life very easily. Even if you're a beginner I would say don't be afraid to try it out! The class was about 1-2 hours, and you pick up your item a couple weeks later after they help you paint and glaze the item. I'm super excited to get my final product. Thank you for the wonderful time!!!!

I hadn't done anything like wheel throwing since I was in art school 20 years ago. Megan was an excellent instructor with a sense of humor and patience! She made the experience fun and educational. We were given 2.5 lbs. of clay and each step was broken down one at a time so that our teacher could come around and make sure everyone was caught up and meeting the goal. I was impressed that even though we each were working on our own bowls, every participant's looked unique in its own way. We left our contact info, and got to select the color glaze that the studio will do for us. Our pieces will be ready for pickup in 6 weeks, and because I am in from our-of-town, my friend will be picking up for me.

My pottery experience was a NIGHTMARE. I signed up for a pottery class on 8/24/23, under the impression that I would receive a call about my pot within the 4-5 week timeline provided on their website, and was told that there would be an additional 7-WEEK delay (totaling 11-weeks before I would receive my pot) because their staff was running behind schedule in the pot firing process. The management refused to give me my refund after I pointed out that it had been past the 4-5 week timeline (mind you, it was WEEK 8) and changed the website policy overnight so that they could cover their basis. When I spoke directly to the owner of Bitter Root Pottery, he was extremely rude, condescending, AGGRESSIVE, and quite frankly, misogynistic in his approach in keeping me from expressing my concerns and receiving a full refund. *** Attached is a screenshot of the original policy and the change in policy sneakily made by management OVERNIGHT*** It is extremely unprofessional and quite frankly sketchy for an entire company to do! If you are reading this, please book at your own risk. There are plenty of other pottery places nearby this particular studio that will uphold their end of the bargain without being sneaky or misogynistic.

I bought the vase workshop as a birthday present and it met all my expectations and then some! The space is wonderful and the staff is friendly. We had a good experience and got to make something tangible with our hands. It takes a few weeks to get the finished product back but for me that's not a big deal. I would highly recommend this place as a special experience!

Some of the instructors are really rude and have ego!! My final product looked very messay and was not cleaned up! a lots of bump inside and outside of the bowl. I had specifically asked them about the final finish and they said "we will cleaned up before we send it for coloring and glaze". The only thing they did not do it was to clean it up. The color looks two different shades.. so disappointed!

Straightforward and enjoyable! Paige was our instructor and I enjoyed her no-nonsense yet kind approach. She gave us individualized pointers and I really commend her and Judy for knowing how to help us trouble shoot to give us the best experience. It's a 20 minute demo of watching the instructor make a bowl and then she makes another along with you with more in depth instructions. I like how Paige set our expectations from the beginning to basically be like "don't have any! Just have fun and don't worry that the shape isn't what you envisioned!" Pottery obviously takes a long time to master, yet with their help and guidance it's entirely possible to walk out having made a decent first piece! There's like 30 colors to choose from for the glaze too. Everyone's bowls looked super different and it was a really cool experience that I would highly recommend if you can afford it! ($85 for one 2h adult group class as of 1.27.24). I'll update the review when I receive the finished piece :)

I purchased a two hour adult class ($80). They said our pieces would be done x day. A week passed that date, no news, when we called, they said sorry it's just taking longer. No real explanation nor timeline to share. We finally get our pieces, about a month later than expected, AND my piece is broken. After a bit of back and forth, they say I can reschedule a class to make up for my broken piece. Cool! I have to call to make the new appointment. I'm unable to do it myself they say. Anyone who would like to join me had to book via the website. Unfortunately this lead to a my friend booking for Friday 7pm and I Saturday 7pm. We call immediately to ask if anything can be done. There are at least 7-10 spots available in both classes at this time. They give a hard no. It goes against their policy. We have to take the classes separately. I end up having a personal matter arise on my end, day of. I call to give them a heads up. Basically told, too bad so sad, you're out of luck. End of the line. When I did go the first time (when piece was broken) it was ok, the instructor would just take over and mold your piece if you asked a question. So I didn't feel I got the whole experience to begin with. (I've since gone to a couple of other classes at other company's and was able to learn and do it myself.) Parking is pretty limited. Edited: typo

So excited to see the expansion of Bitter Root Pottery, the sister store of Matchstone into the Hayden Tract! We were lucky to sign up the grand opening event and had a super fun afternoon with a wheel-throwing class! Sandy and Joan are awesome and wonderful teachers. I love the interior design with natural tree branches as the dividers and the combination of modernity (chandeliers) and history (rustic metals). It goes with the theme: FUTURE TO THE FOREST. Definitely call to ask for their membership, which includes access to the space, member-only storage shelf, spray lab, and the glazes! It's just so therapeutic to visit the place even if you are not a member. You will love the vibe and perhaps get your artist talent inspired!

This is a spacious and gorgeous ceramics studio. The nicest I've seen! Lots of shelf space for members. Came for Open House and tried the wheel-throwing class. They provide all the tools and the aprons for class. There are lockers for your stuff. I made a bowl with help from the staff. Sandy the instructor and Joan were very helpful. One side of my bowl ended up taller and lopsided so Joan help cut off the top for me. I wore an apron but my sleeves got dirty. So wear something you don't mind getting dirty in and leave your jewelry at home. Had a little bit of a hand cramp so you should do stretching beforehand. They also have tools and supplies for sale. Next door you can check out the sister studio Match Stoneware.

My friend and I signed up for a pottery class at Bitter Root last year and had a great time! The class held about 12 seats with one instructor. Parking is easily accessible around the Hayden Tract. They are next door to Match ceramics - which is a place where the restaurant, Destroyer across the street gets their plates, bowls, cups, etc. from for service. Check in at the front - they won't begin the class until everyone is there. A person will come get you and direct you to the area, this will most likely be your instructor. You'll be provided a locker for you to keep your belongings in. There is a bathroom inside by the lockers. I saw they had snacks on sale in the hallway area inside of a glass windowed shelving unit. You'll notice a bunch of different working stations around the studio. There was a large group of children there to what looked to be a birthday party (how fun!) and other areas where the usual artists come to work. Shelves of pottery made by others resting out on display, other shelves are for those who have memberships to use as their personal space sections. There is a giant sink area in the back where we use to wash all of the tools and ourselves up at the end of the class. The class itself was of a nice size and our instructor was great! She herself began in her ceramic throwing journey not too long ago but she was a pro because she'd put in the hours to practice and get better. You'll have free range to form and sculpt your masterpiece. Towards the end of the class we move to the glazing area where we select what glaze we desired to have. You'd have about a month or so until you get to come pick up and see your final product. Being that I moved out of the area, my friend picked my piece up with her and it still currently to this day lives in her house, lol. She's shown me pics of it and it turned out great (I made a bowl, but I kind of wish I tried to do something more free form with more of a design aspect to it - next time I might try or maybe try for a low bowl instead). I used to work in this area a while ago for several years. I'm not sure if Bitter Root existed then, but wow, I could have walked here and came over as my extra curricular activity after work. Its okay though, I know about you now :]

This was such a fantastic experience!! My fiancé and I have been wanting to try pottery, especially after watching the Great Pottery Throwdown. We haven't been able to find a place that works for our tight schedule until now. We went on a Monday afternoon and took the 1.5 hour beginner class. We were the only two people there (it was 2:00 on a Monday), so it felt like we had our own private class. First, right off the bat, the vibes of this spot are immaculate. The decor, atmosphere, aesthetic, everything was just perfect. It kicked off the whole experience perfectly. Second, and most importantly, our instructor Jenai was AMAZING. She was so patient with us with it being our first time and really helped us to make sure we understood what we were doing at every step to be successful. She was absolutely wonderful and I would love to work with her again! We have been wanting to try this for forever and Bitter Root Pottery made our first throwing experience everything we could have hoped for. Can't wait to see how our pieces turn out. It's in the hands of the Kiln Gods now!

My friend and I signed up for the adults beginner wheel throwing class with NO experience and had an absolute blast! FYI, make sure to slow down as you are coming up to it cause they have a tiny driveway with an even tinier black sign. We missed it the first time around, lol.

I would love to do this again! (And for any of y'all with longer nails, don't worry, they will teach you how to work around it!)

I am so glad my friend recommended Bitter Root Pottery in C.C. We had a blast and the instructor Megan did a great job instructing us and made pottery making lots of fun. I look forward to going back and the location in C.C. was very nicely decorated with the holiday theme. Keep up the great job Megan!!

Great Experience!! It was easy to book online and it's exactly as it's pictured. I researched a few other similar courses in the Orange County Area and San Pedro. The pricing here was better than most, and some don't offer the wheel. Not to mention, the studio looked so cute and IG worthy! So best believe we had some great photos and videos of our day. I brought my daughter here for her 17th Birthday. My 21 year old nephew and his girlfriend tagged along. We had no previous experience aside from our ceramics class in school. I was a little nervous that I'd fall behind but the Instructor was amazing at guiding us through the instructions. Helped us as needed along the way. No one felt out of place no matter what your skill level. The had tripods at every station so we took full advantage of making videos of our experience. My kids or should I say "young adults" had fun! And I definitely will bring my boyfriend here to check it out soon!

Brought my 11 year old with me to take a pottery class. It was a fantastic class for beginners. Hailee was extremely patient and helpful. A Great teacher. It was so much fun. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Hailee for a wonderful experience!

I do not recommend this pottery class at all. I have done it before at another pottery studio and I had a great time there so wanted to try this studio this time. The instructor made a hole in the bottom of my pot during the class. (not me !!!) They assured me they would fill the hole during the pottery baking process. Despite confirming this multiple times, when I picked up my pottery three weeks later, the hole was still there... I am extremely disappointed. The instructors seemed young and unprofessional so I decided to leave but I won't be going back. A $120 class with a pottery with a hole is not worth it. Full Circle Pottery Studio in Palms is much better, more professional, and offers a variety of colors, ombre, and different textures in their painting which this studio never offers.

Fun class, excellent guidance! I'll definitely do more classes there. Love the environment and instructors.

Went with my sister on a whim and it was great! We loved the experience, great teacher and environment - it was a little too pricey to do often, though, although they do offer a membership program that may be worthwhile (provided you can commit to going at least 3 times a month).

Such a fun experience and class w. Megan! Will def come back again to make other kinds!

I was never interested in pottery and didn't think of myself as a guy who would enjoy it. However, it turned out to be fun and relaxing. Also, it was totally worth

My friend and I took a beginner wheel throwing class. Paige is a great instructor and Judy was super helpful. It was a fun class, and the staff thoroughly walks you through how to create a nice looking bowl. I look forward to seeing the finished product. I would highly recommend this place for a fun activity with friends or a date.

Nicole the instructor was sooo kind!! It was my very first pottery class I had no experience whatsoever. She made the entire class a great experience very detailed and helped everyone with so much patience. I'm so glad I was able to take the class worth every penny!! I cannot wait for my next one

We did a group Adult 2-hour class and it was great! It was my second time throwing and our teacher, Ashely, was friendly, funny and extremely thorough every step of the way. Parking was easy. The space is roomy inside and felt relaxing. Highly l recommend going here! Can't wait to get my finished piece!

This place is a snooze fest. A group of about 6 girlfriends signed up and this place does not believe in fun at all. I thought it was going to be like a paint and sip class where you kind of have fun and do an activity as a group. This place is more like a lecture, on your least favorite subject. The first hour you just listen and watch, actually. The second hour you're supposed to remember everything from the first hour and do it yourself (with their help from time to time) it was just not for me. If you're looking to do something fun with girlfriends, look elsewhere. I guess come here if you are hard core about learning how to properly do pottery. Additionally, they make you clean up your station after the grueling 2 hours. I'm sorry, I thought the $85 included clean up. It doesn't, plan to spend about 30 minutes after you're done with the class on clean up.

So much fun. Great for group party. Parking is limited, street parking is available. The back alley is not a good place to park.

My husband and I were both off for Memorial Day, and decided to make our Monday a long overdue date day. We signed up for the 2 hour Adult Beginner Wheel Throwing Class online, which is originally at $80 per person. We had Paige as our instructor. Since our class time of 4:30pm was just added on for the day, our class was a class of about 14 people to 1 instructor. The space is pretty big, and the studio itself is beautiful. It's big enough for another class going on the same time as ours, and other people working independently. Firstly, you have to check in through the front and sign a paper. You can place your extra belongings in the lockers provided in your section. After, you have to write your name on a name tag and grab an apron. In the beginning, the instructor verbally goes over the order of things we would need to do and how we need to go about doing it. Afterwards, we were pretty much on our own after our bases were corrected or fixed by Paige. I love that they provide tripods so you're able to record or take pictures of yourself - especially since my tri-pod broke right as we entered the place. What are the odds. The class wasn't hard, but it wasn't easy either. I don't think I was too pleased with my own end result. I wished I had made my bowl wider at the mouth to be more of a fruit bowl, instead I made myself a small and thicker acai bowl. I think it stems from my fear of reading other reviews about other people's bowls breaking. So now .. my husband and I wait to pick-up our bowls 5-7 weeks from now. Overall, it was such a fun and new experience for us. We loved it so much that we wouldn't mind coming back. Definitely would recommend my family and friends!

Friends and I signed up for the 2hr class and it was so great. Instructor was detailed and hands on, which was very helpful. The clay we used was great. They had all the supplies. The studio is beautiful.

I attended Tuesday evening class our instructors name was Ella. I give her a 5 STARS she was awesome . Really took the time to explain step-by-step for our beginners class and made the it enjoyable. The entire process was easy my one tiny comment is that once you register the class is not refundable or you can't reschedule. Use it or lose it. Not a big deal but want to share it before you sign-up. Here are pictures of our bowls, not bad for beginners. thank you Ella for a fun class and helping me along the way.

This is a beautiful inspired studio with helpful staff with each station decked out with everything we needed plus Rorey's expert guidance. Glazing your own is not an option but I really came for the clay experience and in that they did not disappoint. Snacks and water are available, bring plastic. It's not the cheapest but it's a great experience.

Best place for you to relax, learn something new, or take your beautiful date to a beautiful place. Teachers are very patient and if you listen to their guidance you will be just fine and have bunch of fun time. Was there once but will definitely go there again. Thank You

This place is really aesthetically pleasing but the beginner class is extremely slow paced. I felt that the 2 hour class could've easily been done in one hour like other pottery classes. The instructors did half the work for you so there's a lot of waiting since there's two instructors for 12+ people class. It's overall a decent place but overhyped because of tik tok.

Great experience! Took a class taught by Joan. Had such a fun time. Our bowls turned out great :) highly recommend!

So disappointing. The woman at the front desk when you check in barely looked up and I had to say hello? to get her attention to ask her if I should sign in or how to check in. She was very cold and is interested. The teacher Christina was a great artist herself but not skilled in teaching. Whenever someone made a mistake she would tell them it was too late and their project was ruined, just so cold Lee. She didn't smile much or welcome people or get people excited or help them feel connected at this event. There was nothing welcoming or communal about the experience. It felt like some students who have become a teacher and was given a class but had no experience were interested in teaching whatsoever.

honestly, I was here for a bday party and the manager hosted us for a private class and she was extremely cold, re-formed all of our unique bowls and just wasn't the fun celebration vibe we were looking for. We went to the Culver City location and it was a real let down. I'd definitely go somewhere else next time

love this place! My husband and I have taken two classes here so far, and it's been great. Joan is the best teacher - she explains things thoroughly and teaches in a way that makes learning to throw digestible AND achievable. Cannot wait to be back!!
