After passing by this place every day since it opened, I finally went through a sponsored Yelp event. It's located in the same shopping center as Ovidios with plenty of parking and is pretty spacious. They have three rooms, each housing a different activity along with the front lobby. There is a spinning room and if you suddenly pictured the movie Ghost, so did I. It's actually a well lit room with natural sunlight. The room next to it is where all the masterpieces are cured. The last room has tables to work on your projects and is where we worked on creating our mugs. We were instructed on how to work the clay, then we went to work decorating and forming our mugs. They guided us through each step. They had several choices for finishes. I should have gone with Jade. Oh well my cup is still cute. The staff was amazing, helpful and so much fun! I didn't expect them to be involved with the community but they had a full calendar with school field trips, parties and company team building events. It was a pretty relaxing experience and now I might need a plate to go with my mug. One last thing, they will call/text you in 4 weeks to pick it up. read more

We recently visited Good Dirt Pottery for the first time last month because my son wanted to paint a ceramic piece, and we had a great experience overall! They offer both ceramic painting and pottery-making classes, and I'd love to return to try a pottery class. The only downside is that classes aren't on weekends and are held on weekday evenings for a few hours, which can be a bit hard to fit into our schedule. They had a nice variety of pieces to choose from. There's a $10 studio fee per painter plus the cost of the item. You pay for your piece first, then select colors and follow their painting instructions. My husband joined me and my son he didn't paint so was not charged a fee. The studio is about a 25-30 minute drive from Clovis, so it was a bit of a drive, but worth it for a fun, different activity together. I didn't realize beforehand that painted ceramics typically take about six weeks to be ready, though it makes sense since they also fire pottery and may have limited kiln space. Ours were actually ready in about three weeks, which was a great turnaround. Pickup was easy--they quickly located our items on a rack using the name slip attached. They didn't have the items wrapped either. One small thing I wish I had known is that they write your name and the date on the bottom of the finished piece. The ceramic I painted was a gift for my son, so I would have preferred not to have my name on it. If I had known, I would have asked about other options. Overall, the staff member who helped us choose our piece and paint colors was very friendly and helpful, making our first visit enjoyable. We'll definitely be back--especially to try one of their pottery classes! read more

Location: Good Dirt Pottery Date: July 9th, 2026 Service: Ceramics This is the before and after of the pottery sessions that we had a good dirt pottery located in Fresno county off of Bullard avenue. And if you are new to the area be mindful they just redid the pavement so they were blocked off certain areas but other than that you should find them no problem. Overall we had an excellent customer service experience at Good their Pottery they text you once your order is ready for pickup and if you do not pick up your item in time they will trash it okay. We will definitely be returning in the near future to paint some more items or to make a pot or a tray as an example. Check out the photos attached to this review. read more

I was so excited to be part of this event with Yelp and even more excited once I walked in! Such a great, welcoming environment with so much to create and do. You can definitely get lost in time there, I personally stayed there past closing time but the team was so sweet about it! I will be back again and again, also a huuuuge bonus/ plus is a safety future they have installed which made me fall in love with the place, (growing up with my family in law enforcement I was taught to watch for certain things which does always cause you eases) but these ladies have it down pat! No need to not be at ease here! I'm eager to go back read more

This was such a fun experience! I felt like I was back in elementary school doing art with classmates while teachers walked around being helpful and encouraging. Drawing the design and then painting it on the dish was so therapeutic and calming. I was in a flow state and I got to have fun conversations while, at the same time, focusing on my painting. I would highly recommend coming here with friends and experiencing this. I think it's fun for adults and kids. And you get a masterpiece that you can use! 10 out of 10 :) read more

I took my niece here for an auntie and niece date at the Paint Bar. She really enjoyed it. The pretty young lady at the front desk was very kind and helpful throughout our time there. I'm not at all artistic but my project still came out nice if I do say so myself. Lol. I can't wait to see it fired. I will definitely return and bring my girlfriends to this adorable and fun place. read more

What a beautiful studio, staff are very friendly, upbeat, and very positive my experience for the first time in the good dirt pottery studio was very fantastic as I attended a Yelp event. The group was given a large dish plate as the group was participating in a painting event. I would highly recommend this place if anyone is looking for something fun or relaxing to do in town. This would make for a great girls day out or get together and I would suggest that anyone who's looking to have some brunch would call first and see if bringing your own alcohol is OK to do so. But yeah, what a fun and a relaxing place to be at. read more

I have taken the 4 week course a try night and am now a member. I wish I could put into words what a good experience it has been. I will try :) the owners are extremely encouraging and employees are helpful. Its a great community truely. Sometimes I think its hard to try new thing and push our selves but this studio has given me that and more. So if ur looking for a soft place to land get your hands dirty and try new things good dirt is the place for you read more

My sisters and I went to a Tuesday try night. It's a 2 hour introduction to pottery experience. You check in and then pick your stations... I would say arrive early, there is limited coat hangers to hang your jacket. And word of advice, leave your purses at home, you will end up putting it on the floor. The instructor will first demonstrate and review the whole pottery process. It is ALOT of information in a short amount of time... I ended up zoning out during the demonstration. The instructor and assistant instructor were very helpful!!! I needed a lot of assistance, and both seemed happy to help! The overall experience was great. The amount of attendees to instructors is a good ratio. Good Dirt Pottery Studio definitely maximizes the amount of time spent wheel spinning-- with no previous experience I was able to make 2 pieces (with assistance from the instructors :P). If you have thought about trying out pottery and wheel spinning, I would recommend this place! read more

My husband and I attended the Try Night last night and it was so fun I can't recommend it enough. The instructors Yesenia and Sydney were perfect for this! They were able to keep the vibe light and fun all while helping even those that needed extra help. 10/10 would do it again read more

I went on a try night and what a great experience! The instructors were thorough and were helpful throughout. We were able to make two pieces and picked them up a few weeks after when they sent a text that they were ready. I'd be interested in taking one of their beginner classes or coming back for a try night with some friends. Recommend checking it out! read more

My party of 3 tried the Saturday 12-2 ceramic painting and we enjoyed it! The only suggestion I have is to properly display what colors you have and don't have, it wasn't just our party who was having a hard time with it. It's pretty frustrating that they had colors listed that weren't available. And by the time we started figuring it out the Lady kept putting pressure on us to leave by standing around watching us and peeping over our shoulders and telling us how much time we had left every 5 mins! Not very peaceful while you're trying to finish painting. read more

Took the 4 week beginner wheel throwing class here with Yesenia, and it was such an awesome experience! She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, centered the demos around what we personally were interested in, and answered all the questions with so much patience and kindness. It was such a highlight of my weeks. Even if you think you may not have the "artistic touch", she gave us plenty of modifications and advice until we were all happy with what we had thrown. I'd recommend this class to anyone, whether they are curious to learn about pottery, try something new, or just have a few hours to themselves to decompress through the week. We were able to create 6 things from start to finish and had lots of time for trial (and error). It was a great deal for the level of instruction, clean and welcoming space, clay, tools, glazes, trimming etc included. Overall 10/10 experience! read more

Helpful staff, welcoming atmosphere, and a fun experience are waiting here. I would highly recommend wearing something you feel comfortable getting dirty! I surprised my wife with a visit to one of their Friday "Try Nights" for our date night, where we joined a group of about 12 other people (almost all couples too) to learn how to make a bowl and cup. There was a little hiccup when we arrived since they apparently had a mix up with my reservation, explaining that sometimes their system books incorrectly. So I would advise folks to save your reservation confirmation/receipt and be prepared to show it. We were then presented with a blizzard fast presentation of how to create a bowl and cup. It was honestly so fast and so much information that I stopped listening part of the way through. It seems they do this to make you familiar with the process so you can do it mostly alone once you start, but it genuinely feels overwhelming at first. We were then seated and allowed to dig in, and antics ensued! Given that the instructors do this daily and I do not, I expected that my attempts would be much less smooth and/or successful than theirs, so I wasn't frustrated by my struggles and others also seemed to take them in stride. The instructors were responsive and helpful, at times maybe too much so. For example, I had to restart a project since I'd ruined mine, and after the instructor gave me more clay, she went ahead and completed the initial shaping of the cup for me. It ended up not really feeling like "mine" since she did most of the work, and I wish she would have asked first. The experience was otherwise fun and a nice way to be creative in a pressure free environment. read more

The experience was going great. Nice staff and the kids were having a great time. We had went here for a field trip. It wasn't until one of the owners came in when things got uncomfortable and awkward. She completely belittled 2 female staff members in front of myself and the students. I understand constructive criticism but her tone, body language, wording and everything about it was not right. She also did it in front of me and my students which i was surprised about. Even my students looked at me and were uncomfortable with her disciplining her staff members in front of us. I can only imagine what she tells them privately. One of the members looked like she wanted to cry. I was embarrassed for her. Completely unprofessional as an owner on her end. I would not be supporting a business who talks to the employees the way she does in front of people and especially kids. read more

Yesenia and Catalina were so amazing as teachers and very patient with me. Try night was extremely fun and something different to do! :-)

Always an awesome experience. Helpful staff. Love the vibe. Who knew we all need a little dirt under our finger nails.

Never taken an actual class but they have super sweet staff. I went in to purchase a gift card for someone and they were very helpful and kind. Cant wait for my sister to use her gift card! read more

I attended a "Try Night" at this cute little studio! It was so much fun! I highly recommend! The instructor was hilarious and very knowledgeable about teaching her craft! Would be a cute date night idea or just something to do on your own! read more

I love pottery, and I decided to take a four week class at this location in 2022; after I was done with wheel class I was hooked! i've been going regularly since then, working on wheel thrown and pinch pieces. When I'm in the studio I feel at peace in a natural environment that has become my zen place and one of my favorite things to do on a weekly basis! I love how everybody is so helpful especially when you're new and not familiar with pottery. All the members have become friends and it really feels like a family when you are inside. The space is perfect and very inviting. In fact they just expanded and have so much space to just play with clay!! I love that they have enough wheels that even when a class is in session you still have enough for the members to use! It's my clean spiritual happy place to be and clear my mind & soul! I love when I see homeschool families and special needs kids enjoying ceramics! The staff goes above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable whether you're new, young or old everybody is welcome and enjoys being a part of this clay family! Thank you guys for making it so easy to love this place! read more

I've been waiting for this studio to open and wasn't disappointed. It's open & inviting. The ladies who own this little gem are so helpful. I haven't had any experience with clay since high school (many years ago) & this studio felt right. I've started with 2 classes. One is hand building & the other is a beginning class using the pottery wheel. If you aren't sure about your skill level, go for a hand building class. You will walk out with a few amazing pieces & think "did I really make these?" The beginning wheel class is where my challenge is. The instruction is so good & I actually made a few pots during my first class. I can't wait to get back in there. It's so much fun, I almost hate to put the word out because I want it all to myself. They offer parties for young & old alike. Go and enjoy. I think you will like it as much as I did. read more

Had an amazing time! Great place for a date! The staff was amazing and really helpfully made me feel completely comfortable with the clay.

So much fun!! We did the "Grandma Camp" clay building class. We were a foursome of ages 10, 15, 56, and 78. We all had such a wonderful time there and all of our projects came out great! The staff was so helpful, patient, and encouraging. It truly was fun for all ages! I want to try the wheel another time. Definitely want to go back. This is such a great place for a date-night, girls day, family fun, birthday or other type of single occasion event, plus they have classes. You've gotta give it a try! read more

Wonderful place to destress! Jordan and staff are helpful and friendly, and very willing to work with you. My hubby and I look forward to going each and every time. We have to travel about an hour to get there but it is well worth it. Now I want to bring my kids, maybe this will get that game controller out of their hands! read more
