After passing by this place every day since it opened, I finally went through a sponsored Yelp…read moreevent. 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.

We recently visited Good Dirt Pottery for the first time last month because my son wanted to paint…read morea 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!

I took the intro to DSLR and cannot wait for the next classes to start! Thanks guys!

Not immune to challenges faced by other jr high schools (even private schools in our experience)…read morebut they seem to attract a gentler group of students. Sometimes I wonder if this is because the kids are around other age groups (it's for grades 4-8) and not just other jr high students. Or maybe part of it is the arts-based curriculum which gives kids some wonderful outlets for their talents. They don't have to pretend the arts aren't cool to fit in with their peers. One thing I've finally learned as a parent is that what may be a great fit for one kid is not for another. However, two of our children, both very different personalities, have gone here and it has been an excellent experience for them. We've had several teachers go out of their way on several occasions and have felt warmly embraced in the community by Principal Rubin and Chris in the front office.
