We made "couples" mugs, and Mar gave us tons of ideas and helpful tips along the way so our pieces felt personal and unique. The class was relaxed, with welcoming vibe, and the perfect playlist! We enjoyed chatting with Mar about our favorite shows and movies while we worked -- it made the experience even more fun and comfortable. This was a perfect mix of learning something new and just enjoying the process. Highly recommend this class (and Mar especially!) for anyone looking for a positive, hands-on creative experience.

My friend and I were really excited to attend our first ever pottery class. Upon entering we were…read moregreeted by the teachers and they explained the whole process to us. The studio is a bit small but and enough space for you to roam about and do your thing. The first step was to handle the clay then they thought us how to handle the wheel and then we got to choose if we wanted a vase, a cup or a bowl. We were in a small group of 6 due to which the teachers could explain and help us well. We ended up upgrading our class to include paint as well as we got to know that without the paint we won't be able to use the things we made of it involves water. My friend made a cute cup and I made a not so cute vase. I would definitely say that but the end of the class, we were rushing a bit and would have appreciated some help and tips from the teachers but we didn't get any. We had to constantly ask about things and where the brushes were and where the paints were. Since it was our first ever class, we would have appreciated a bit more help from the teachers in managing our time and helpful tips on how to glaze correctly instead of having to ask everything ourselves when we are already rushing. Regardless, we had a lot of fun and can't wait to pick up our pieces soon!
