Came in for a date night class. The instructors were all very friendly. They said they would call…read moreme to tell me when my pieces were ready but never got a call. After calling them to see if the pieces were ready, we came back to glaze our pieces. We were met by Kyle, who was rude from the moment we walked in. They told us to just pick a color off a clipboard and they will do it for us. When we asked if we can do it ourselves, Kyle was dismissive and made us feel bad for wanting to do something we looked forward to doing.

I honestly can not stop talking about The Hive Pottery studio. The owner, employees and members are…read moreall so friendly. Everyone is willing to help each other to further their skills. The studio offers a wide array of classes and the skills you learn can make you a professional potter because these teachers are seriously that good. If not interested in taking classes then you can do a studio membership. The membership is the most affordable pottery membership in the area and the studio is open 7 days a week with hours as late as 8:30pm. However, once you see all the work done in classes you will want to take a class and that's okay, they will pause your membership while you take a class.

Austin explained everything to us and he had Alex also standby to assists. Everyone was very nice and kept the atmosphere light and energetic. Be advised it is very warm, not sure why I was surprised by this but I was. Obviously you are working with open flames and the room has ovens too. Dress cool but closed toe shoes are recommended. Also as stated on their website your final project will not be availabe to take home until the following day. This was good for us to know since we live 40 minutes away. We definitely plan to do this again perhaps with a group of friends on a cold winter day! For the best value check for Groupons prior to purchasing.

Olivia was the instructor and she was super hands on and very helpful. You get to make 2 pieces and, trust me, you will use the entire 2 hours. The time flew by! I can't wait to go back and pick up the pieces to see how they turned out. This place is definitely a gem of St. Pete's arts and creative scene.

I signed my son up for a wand making class here the other week. The class is about an hour long…read moresession. Bowls For Good is located in the front of the Morean Arts Center, straight up the stairs. There are no visible signs out front (we got lost). Ben and Oliver were there to greet us. Both were very nice and helpful. Thank you Oliver for helping my son with his wand. I learned a bit of what they do while they were making wands. 100% of the proceeds from their classes go towards helping the at risk youth of St Pete. They also hold events for the youth where they can create and design their own wooden crafts and have a day of fun. Amazing stuff. Other than wands, you can create bowls (duh), pens, bottle openers, wine stoppers...I'm sure there are more but that's all I can remember at the moment. Anyway, a fun experience and for a great cause!

Oh, this was such a fun night!…read more My friend had been here before. She has a long history of knowing fun places-and I happily followed her here. It was everything I hoped for and more. It's so colorful and cheerful inside. You can feel the creativity flowing and gelling. Inspo is everywhere. The staff were so welcoming and supportive-especially to someone who still paints like an elementary school kid (that would be me). We paid $10 for the special ghouls night out session... but I've heard you can do walk ins, too. There are shelves full of all sorts of figures and plates and other pottery to choose from. The prices are on the bottom-and that covers the paint and the firing. My friend and I had a table to ourselves-and could spread out our snacks and drinks (they had cupcakes, cookies and small cans of soda available but you can also byob and foods. We brought charcuterie items, champagne and pumpkin doughnuts). It was such a relaxing and happy experience-painting, snacking and chatting. The staff checks on you. You can also go ask for more paint at any time. My spider won't win any awards-but he sure was fun to decorate! I can't wait to see how he'll look after firing. I'm told the colors will darken. It should be ready for pickup in about a week. I'm told they have art classes, day camps and summer camps and that you can hold parties here. It's fun for all ages and I may bring my mom, sister and niece here for some three generation bonding. It's a comfortable space with lots of easy parking available. I'm already looking forward to going back. See you there?!

I like that you can walk in at any time without booking anything. They have lots of pieces to…read morechoose from and the pricing is based on the piece you choose. Everything is included in that price. Then you pick out your paint colors and start painting. I felt like the paint colors looked very different in the palette than I expected from the display. When we were in there it was busy with many families, several who had children that were screaming the whole time. You can pick up your finished creation about a week later.

Brenda, John and the 3rd woman there (I feel so bad I don't remember her name) were awesome and helped us every step of the way. We were a little slow getting our projects done and they let us stay an hour later to get them done and even jumped in to help us! We felt so bad because they were closing but they never let us feel badly about it and were so supportive and helpful the entire way though! We each made 3 mini plank trays. They give you stencils and explain the different looks you can achieve as you go. As someone who isn't artistic at all these came out amazing! We plan on taking the weaving blankets class soon.
