We got a full crash course and then immediately got to crafting bowls. It's harder than it looks, but Tiffany was always there to help us when we needed it, with a perfect balance of being helpful and letting us be independent. She was patient, incredibly friendly, and an absolute pro. Also, this is a great deal! On top of the class which was super fun, we're getting 6 fired and glazed bowls. This is totally worth the money, and I highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and fun experience.

Katie creates the kind of environment where you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. She's encouraging without hovering, patient without making you feel like you're slowing anyone down, and genuinely excited to help people grow in their craft. You can tell she's building something special here. The space has this calm, creative rhythm to it, and every class feels like you're learning and relaxing at the same time. I've already made pieces I didn't think I was capable of. If you've been looking for a place to start pottery, reconnect with creativity, or just try something new, this studio is absolutely worth checking out. Katie brings out the best in beginners. Highly recommend.

I visited during the Workshop's open house, getting to meet the artists and see their creations displayed in a small area out front with pots and perennials for sale. I then ventured into the studio, where I have been wanting to take a pottery class for some time. The studio is beautiful and cozy. There is a slightly awkward half-step down in the main door and then two small steps up into the main work area, where classes are held or pottery is thrown. Right inside the main door is a square-room where pieces from artists are displayed for purchased, anything from pots and mugs to ornaments and trays. Each piece is crafted with love and care, with endless amounts of creativity mixed in. These pieces are one-of-a-kind. I purchased a flower pillow--yes, a small pillow with holes for flowers to poke out of--with delicate flowers already placed carefully in by the artist, who walked by and saw me looking at the piece and told me I could have the flowers as well if I purchased the piece. I was able to chat with her a few minutes and she described to me how she made it. I love open houses just for that--I meet and chat with the artists right there!! I also purchased a gorgeous ornament with outstanding detail and a tiny hanging mirror with a beautifully crafted sun ray-like frame. It is amazing to see all of these works of art, which are crafted right there in the studio. The Workshop offers 9-week classes during each of the seasons, one class in the mornings and one in the evenings. The price for these classes is rather high, about $325, and it seems as though you need to buy your own bag of clay for $20 on top of that, though I do not know for sure. There is a special discount for summer classes, which are $290. My student budget cannot really afford that at this time (as well as my hectic school schedule), but it seems like you will be taught by skilled instructors and work in a nice comfortable place, covered in this "tuition." I spoke with Kathy, who runs the classes; she told me all about the classes and suggested an instructor as I am a beginner. She was extremely kind and helpful, not to mention very welcoming!! Each individual I met at the Workshop was very friendly and helpful. I am very impressed by this small studio!! From the comfortable atmosphere to the kind artists, I will definitely be returning--and hopefully for a class--to Expressions Pottery Workshop!! It is a wonderful hidden find!!
