Neighborhood Potters really is the best! This studio first off is a great local gift store, where…read moreyou can purchase incredible pieces of pottery that make thoughtful and beautiful gifts for any occasion (including jewelry!), but on top of that, the studio also offers adult and children pottery courses. The spring adult courses are running right now for 6 weeks (for $255) or 10 weeks (for $415). We went for the winter session this past season and it was the most incredible experience. We took our lessons with Adam, and he is an absolute gem; incredibly funny, extremely personable, and just an all around all-star instructor. He was very clear in his instruction, very to the point and supportive of whatever work or piece you were doing. He was great at helping you achieve what you envisioned and was able to give great instruction and suggestions without limiting your creativity. The course fee covers the instruction of course, but also they provide all for you: tools, clay, glazes, whatever you'll need to make your pieces. You have the option to do hand-building, which we did and what the studio recommends for beginners, or you can also learn to throw on their wheels. Next time we may try our hand at throwing, but the hand-building was also an incredible experience. We've been using our pieces and keep marveling that we were able to make them! We looked so forward to classes every week, they were just so much fun and very relaxing - a really amazing hobby to get into, and something we for sure will be back to do in the future. The photo attached are some of the pieces we made - the glazes the studio has are really gorgeous, and we're amazed they came out this nice for us first-timers! If you're not able to commit to a full class, they also offer one-off "meet and make" sessions at the studio for $55. We'd highly recommend you stop by the studio to purchase pieces, browse, or take a class. Or even just chat up the owners if they're there, they are incredible; so friendly and helpful and really living up to the idea of your local friendly neighborhood potters :)

I love this place! And you will too!…read more Sandi and Neil are great at what they do. They have encouraged me through two 6-week courses to put my own twist on an ancient art form. I have learned that from beginner to novice everyone is treated with respect and it's a creative therapy many people could benefit from. Course fees include all required materials, firing and glazing your very own creations. They have kilns on site, and several wheels if you're looking to try your hand at them. Check out their website for upcoming classes. I know I plan on taking more.

I hired Jessica to create an artwork for my unsightly driveway retaining wall. It was a wonderful…read moreexperience. She collaborated with me on the design and offered several options. Jessica created a delightful floral mosaic design. She kept me informed of cost and schedule. The result is drop-dead gorgeous! Friends and neighbors are so complimentary. Even the mailman is a big fan! There are so many lovely mosaics and murals in the city of Philly, so it felt especially fun to bring some of that whimsey into the suburbs. She allowed my grandson and other family members to place a tile on the wall, making it even more special. My grandson loves to point out "his leaf" to everyone. Jessica is a talented and committed artist with years of experience. She is friendly, down-to-earth, and easy to work with. Her creations are unique. She uses a mixture of handmade clay tiles with special designs and glazes along with commercially-made tile. The result is breath-taking. She is a delight to work with. I can highly recommend her.

The owner(I believe) was very helpful and knowledgeable. There was a large selection of gundams and other D&D style games. They have nights that are scheduled to play these games and have several huge tables to play on. The most impressive thing was the selection of paints, Tamiya and Valero, and model tools. Where we live near Nashville, there are not any hobby shops. It was great to stock up on some paints and supplies I needed, to put hands on product, not on a keyboard. If possible PLEASE stop in and support this local business, because it really is great to have a physical location to touch and browse actual product.

Extra shout out to Emily reaching quilting 101, who goes above and beyond to make sure that 6-9pm is still a productive learning time, assigning easy homework we can do independently, and literally offering to lend me a sewing machine for home because I'm so behind.
