"I went here with my husband and did a private wheel class with our teacher Derek. Our teacher was very chill, gentle and respectful. We learned a lot and had a lovely first experience. Our bowls came out awesome ! Their puppy is very friendly and gentle too, we love her."

"I did a pottery lesson over the weekend with friends from work and we had a great time!!! Derek was our instructor. He was awesome! So kind and patient with us as it was all our first time doing this. He helped us create such beautiful pieces. I enjoyed it so much that I will be looking into lessons. I will definatley be back!!! Thanks Derek!!"

"Beautiful pottery studio run by the most patient and fun teacher-owner Derek. We booked last minute private class for a birthday celebration. Time well spent, highly recommend to try pottery if you haven't yet! Felt challenged by the clay and the wheel, but definitely coming back. Go visit Derek and try it for yourself!"

"The whole family loved the private studio time with Derek. Getting a little messy and each making our own vase, cup and bowl using the pottery wheel. We’ll definitely be back!"

"My wife and I booked a pottery lesson for her birthday and we had an incredible experience! Derek is a fantastic teacher and did a great job explaining the fundamentals to us. He was patient, attentive, and encouraging as this was our first time ever working with clay. We would absolutely recommend this studio to anyone looking to learn more about pottery and we plan on visiting again soon!"
