So happy to have found my ring and so impressed with the quality of the class I took, along with the multiple other services they offer. Will be booking again!!

If you've ever wanted to learn pottery, this is the place for you! I took an 8-week class this…read morefall, and learned so much along the way. I'm leaving with a newfound respect for pottery, and so absolutely impressed with the management of this studio. Since ClaySpace is a nonprofit, you aren't nickel and dimed for every service, and the people here truly love their craft. Even in simple things like the management of kiln firings, there is such care taken in each step in the process and everyone here, students, instructors and resident artists alike, are just so friendly and helpful as you learn pottery. Fees for courses and supplies are super reasonable, and I am so glad to have found ClaySpace to continue my exploration of pottery.

I had an unusual experience during open lab on Saturday morning. The space was quite crowded, and I…read moreapproached a table to ask if I could join. A woman seated there indicated that it would not be a problem. However, when I stepped away briefly to retrieve a tool, I was approached by a lab aide and instructed to move, as the table was apparently reserved for RAs. There was no visible signage or indication that the table was designated for that purpose. Additionally, to my understanding, RAs have access to a separate workspace, but they'll use of shared student space--especially during a busy open lab-- is somewhat confusing. Then another RA was complaining how students should know better, which is odd since the other RA said I could sit with her. Overall, the situation felt unclear, unwelcoming and rude.

BEWARE THESE TWO . In my opinion, they are crooks. My story…read moreis simple on 11/16of 24 I brought two paintings in for them to sell on consignment. Attached is a photo of the contract. They were Livingston Vincent Garrity paintings. Attached our two photos of the paintings. I paid Cheryl's husband right away and we drew up a contract and agreed on a 50-50 split . We stayed in contact and Cheryl's husband told me that the paintings were sold for 4000.00and he is waiting for a check or money transfer. This was/20/24 I stopped in right before Christmas to get paid and Cheryl's husband informed me they are still waiting for the money transfer , the paintings were shipped He assured me as soon as the funds were in his bank account, he would Zelle me the money . So I left for Florida. We kept in contact through tax and it was one excuse after another no money was sent. So I get back to Illinois early March 3/13/25 at this point I am calling him and texting him . Finally, he sends me $100. Well, I'm only 1900 short , so I continue calling them and nothing. Now we are getting heated , on 3/25 / 25 they send 500.00. So I called and no answer again., I text no answer, so at this point, I have an Attorney send them a letter. Now I get another 500 making me short 900 At this point, I am getting extremely angry and we start texting some more. Cheryl's husband calls me Avenatti the attorney that went after Donald J Trump. I'm sorry this is all uncalled for all over $2000 so now we can go to court. And I will expect proof of sale, for all I know they could've sold the paintings for $40,000. In my opinion, these two are the modern day Bonnie and Clyde. Definitely crooks so beware doing any business with them. There is no reason to ignore the phone after your husband told me the paintings were sold for $4000 in December. And he promised the money would be zelled right after Christmas to my account. Crooks is what you are

Nathalie and Urii gave a us brief history of glass mosaics and were so helpful while we created our pieces. They are experts with over 25 years of education, teaching, and passing it on to everyone. They really enjoy what they do as they are patient, provide encouragement and help you even if you're not art inclined! They had a vast array of glass tiles in every color under the rainbow imaginable! It was so much fun and gave us all a whole new appreciation of mosaic artisanry! This is a great place to take any class they offer as I truly believe these are the best in the area. Thank you both for a beautiful afternoon of creating mosaics!
