Ezra taught us the basics and helped us learn how to play with clay. We all ended up with small pots, some more "creative" than others... We picked up our pots that we dried and kilned with the choice of glaze that we wanted a few weeks later. The studio itself is very warm and welcoming and well appointed with all kinds of tools and storage spaces etc. I hope to explore clay more with Manzanita soon...

We only did 2 days as we had a lapse in our other summer programs. First, the staff were VERY friendly and welcoming throughout the entire day, from drop off to pick up. My kids loved the staff there. They love kids and have a true passion for the arts. Secondly, my kids loved their time there and learned a lot. They came home with their artwork and were blown away on how they all came out. It's a testament to the teachers skills. Communication was excellent between us and staff . Very clean facilities, organized, and loved all the amazing artwork made by kids displayed on the walls . Overall excellent experience and will plan on doing another week or two this summer!

You walk in and the employee will give you a run down on the process. If you want to take your ceramic home the same day, you can use acrylic paint, if you don't mind waiting you can choose to glaze it and there is a $5 firing fee. We chose to do glaze and wait a 1-2 weeks and they texted us when it was ready. (Only took a week) In terms of inventory, they have cute Knick knack ceramics you can make or kitchenware like plates, bowls, coasters, etc. I also saw people painting canvases so you really do have a lot of options if you're looking for a fun craft day. Pro tip: do multiple layers if you're gonna do glaze. I'd recommend at least 3, but 4 or 5 if you have the time.

Aaron's work inspires collectors and fans through their shared love of the ocean, as experienced through his photography. He is a well known surfer that takes incredible pictures of waves, ocean views and seascapes, among many other subjects.
