They offer classes for young and old, with the option for drop-in, 4-week or full 8-week package signup. We attended their Open House that happened to be the next day and enjoyed meeting the staff as well as try out some activities such as coaster painting (ceramics) and creating a vision board. Oh and very much enjoyed the charcuterie board and wine + there was even cake that a staff member brought for someone who mentioned it was her birthdsr

I've been taking the handbuilding pottery class (as opposed to the wheel throwing class which they also offer). The handbuilding classes are taught by an incredible artist named Rob Homsy who is a patient and fun instructor. There is an assortment of people in his classes - all ages and an array of skills. Some of us are total beginners and others could sell their pottery because it's so great. What I especially love about this class is that Rob doesn't do the thing where "this week we're making wind chimes" and that's what the entire class must do. He definitely teaches us all of the basics and suggests what we may want to build, but he also genuinely supports whoever wants to make a giant cup, or an elephant for a gift, or a planter, or whatever one really has their mind set on. I will never be a great potter but I'm having such fun in the classes and working with many nice people. Classes are on a monthly schedule but you can enroll at any point. I take the Tuesday class from 1 PM - 4 PM but they also have an evening class. The phone number is (310) 451-5657 and the link is https://www.brentwoodart.org

I am someone who has very little artistic ability, so when I signed up for a 3 week beginner…read morepottery class at Echo, I was not expecting much. I'm so happy to have been proven wrong! The instructor, Yuli, is so patient and knowledgeable. She spends time on building fundamental skills and building confidence working with clay. The weekday beginner classes I've taken have been such a fun and productive way to wind down after a long day at work. Each class is 2 hours long, but after the first session, you can arrive an hour early to practice and throw additional pieces. Yuli walks through every step of the process and offers guidance along the way. I'm so proud of the stoneware I've made in her classes, and have signed up for my third class at Echo next month!

I've been to a few classes and I learned a lot. Like other classes Mehnoosh starts by teaching you technique and gradually you would move on from water colors to oil colors. Mehnoosh's studio is open to all ages and a majority of the clientele is Iranian. Mehnoosh's sessions are an hour and a half, and if working diligently a lot of work can be done. All in all it was a great experience and I highly recommend it.

I have been going to her for over 10 years and the level of respect I have for her is unmatched. She not only is an amazing human being, but she is an amazing artist herself who teaches you the fundamentals of drawing, painting, and beyond. I have made masterpieces with her and she guides you through it all! She puts her students first and makes sure they succeed in every single way. It is a privilege to be one of Rama's long standing students. I have also been able to help her grow her business and she is such a pleasure to work with. Her energy, her calming presence, and love for her job makes painting so enjoyable. I am so ever grateful for Rama and her work! I only want to see Rama succeed and grow her business even more. I am so grateful for her and I hope anyone has the privilege to take at least one of her classes!

Despite the class being very small (only five students), the instructor completely ignored me the entire session, while giving multiple rounds of feedback to other students--including one sitting directly in front of me. I even walked to the location with the instructor, so there's no way this was just an oversight. I paid for this class expecting at least some level of instruction, but I left feeling like my presence didn't matter. If I wanted to paint outside alone with zero feedback, I could have done so for free.
