My husband and I attended a private class where Esther guided us through making three bowls each from scratch. She patiently explained the process and worked closely with each of us to mold ours. Once our three bowls were done, we chose from a variety of glazes. Esther and her husband ensure you feel welcome, supported and most importantly, have fun! The location is in a quiet neighborhood in Thousand Oaks and love that they have clearly marked parking in front. This is a great experience if you just want to try something new, have a date night or for a girls night out. I had so much fun and can't wait to go back to try again!

Pure magic at Clay Studio -- a soulful, hands-on escape…read more I can't say enough good things about my experience at Clay Studio! From the moment I walked in, I felt both completely welcomed and quietly inspired. The space is beautiful and unpretentious, and the energy is something special, grounded, artistic, and full of heart. Esther and her husband (the dream team behind it all) are such gems. Down-to-earth, kind, and truly invested in making sure everyone learns and creates something meaningful. The class was hands-on in the best way. I got to really do the work, but with expert, patient guidance. I learned more than I ever expected to and left each session feeling so deeply revived. I actually looked forward to every class like it was a treat, and I almost cried when it ended. That's how impactful and soul-nourishing it was. I'll absolutely be signing up again. Also... bonus: Esther makes the most delicious homemade pizza. Warm, real, nourishing -- just like the entire experience. Run, don't walk. This place is a treasure. -- Tanya xo

I can only offer an observer's opinion of this facility. I was there several weeks ago as one of…read moreseveral guest speakers from a local nonprofit organization. Another charitable group gathered there to introduce mothers and daughters to options for places they can volunteer over the next six years to fulfill their goals. While I waited for my turn to speak, I checked out the large main room, filled with bright, colorful art projects. Mostly paintings were featured, since they're easy to hang. Still, I could see that other types of art mediums are taught. My understanding is that this is a popular destination for kids' birthday parties, though I could see it as a gal pals' get-together spot, too. I hadn't heard of them before being given the address to come for the event. I was really impressed with finding such a fun, inspiring resource in the community for artists of all ages to release their creative juices.

We had about 25 kids ages 2-12, plus a few older kids and adults who jumped in on the fun too. We had to help our two year old (she really loved trying it too), but it was perfect for the four+ age group. It kept them busy the entire two hours. Multiple parents complimented that it was a great activity too. I'm so happy we chose to have them at our party and thankful they were available. It is such a fun idea, and would suggest them for your party too!
